Question

A vendor purchase banana at rupya 40 per dozen and sold them at 10for rupees 36 find his gain or loss

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey friend,

Explanation:

If my understanding is right according to your question, the merchant sold 10 bananas for rupees 36 and so there is 2 left out. With that in mind the calculations is proceeded.

Cost Price: 40/12 = 3.33 rupees/banana

Selling Price: 36/10 = 3.6 rupees/banana

Therefore it is 43.2 for 12 bananas

Profit= Selling Price- Cost Price

=43.2-40 = 3.2

Therefore 

Profit % = 3.2/40*100 

= 8% profit

Hope this helps..
