Question

A vendor buys oranges at 9 for rupees 10 and sells them at 12 for rupees 16 find his profit percent

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9 oranges =₹10

cp of 1 orange = 10/9

12 orange =16

sp of 1 orange =16/12=4/3=8/9

g% = SP- cp / cp = 8/9-10/9÷10/9 = - 2/9÷10/9 =1/5×100=-20%

there is a loss of 20%
