Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Cost price = 26 Rs.  

selling price of 5 oranges = 13 Rs

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 selling prize a dozen oranges = selling price - cost price

=> 31.20 -26=5.20

GAIN% = $\frac{Gain}{CP}$ × 100

=> $\frac{5.20}{26}$ × 100

=> $\frac{52}{260}$ × 100 = 20%

there fore, the required gain % is =20%
