Question

A Vendor buys lemons at rs 25 per dozen and sells at 5 for rs 12 . Find his gain percent

Answer 1

Cost price:
12 lemons - Rs 25
1 lemon - Rs 25/12
So 5 lemon - Rs 25/12*5 = Rs 10.4
Selling price:
5 lemons - Rs 12
Hence, Profit = Rs 1.6
Profit% = 1.6/10.4*100% = 153.846%
Good luck but solve such prob on your own....

Answer 2

It is given that a vendor buys lemon at rupees 25 per dozen.

So, 12 lemons cost ₹25

Therefore, 1 lemon would cost ₹25/12

Now,

SP of 5 lemons=₹12

So, SP of 1 lemon=₹12/5

So, here SP>CP, which means that there is a gain/profit.

Now, gain=SP-CP

=₹(12/5-25/12)

=₹19/60

Now, gain%=Gain/CP×100

=19/60/25/12×100

=76/5%

=15.2%
