Question

A vendor purchased bananas at ₹ 40 per dozen and sold them at 10 for ₹ 36. Find his gain or loss per cent.
Hint. Let the number of bananas bought be lcm ( 12, 10 ) = 60.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the SP of 10 bananas = ₹36

SP of 1 banana = ₹36/10=₹3.6

SP of 1 dozen bananas = ₹3.6×12=₹43.20

CP of 1 dozen bananas = ₹40

Since, SP is more than CP so it’s a gain.

Gain=SP−CP=43.20−40=23.2

Gain%=(3.2×100)/40

=8%

∴ The Gain percent is 8%

Answer 2

Answer:

8% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

5 dozen buying (as60)= 200 rupees

6 rack of 10 banana and each for 36 therefore selling price =36x6=216 rupee

therefore profit =16 rupees

profit percentage = 16/200x100=8 %
