Question

A vendor buys oranges at 26 per dozen and sells them at 5 for 13. Find his gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of oranges is given as Rs.26/-per dozen

seling price of 5 oranges =Rs.13

therefore,selling price of oranges= 13/5

seling price of 12 oranges =13/5×12=Rs.31.20 per dozen

seling price of oranges >cost price of oranges

so,gain occurs

gain on selling a dozen of oranges=S.P - C.P.=31.20 -26=5.20

GAIN%=gain ×100 =5.2 ×100=52 × 100=20%

            C.P             26          260

there fore, the required gain % is =20%

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

            Given data:-  A vendor buys oranges at  $26 \ per\ dozen$

            To find:- gain percent$=?$

           Solution:-

         CP of 1 dozen oranges $=Rs.26.$

         CP of 1 orange $=\frac{26}{12} =Rs.2.16.$

         CP of 5 oranges $=2.16\times5=Rs.10.8.$

          Now, SP of  $5$ oranges$=Rs.13.$

           $Gain=SP-CP$

                     $=\text { Rs. }(13-10.8)\\=\text { Rs. } 2.2$

        $\text { Gain } \%=(\text { Gain } / \mathrm{CP}) \times 100$

                     $=(2.2 / 10.8) \times 100\\=20.3 \%.$

      Hence we will get gain % is $20.3\%.$
