Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of oranges are given as Rs.26/-per dozen

Selling 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

Selling 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 %
