This is your Answer. This is the best way to get the answer.

Answer 2

Solution :-

Cost price of 12 lemon = Rs. 20

Then cost Price of 1 lemon = 20/12

= Rs. 1.6666.... or Rs. 1.67 per lemon

Cost price of 1 lemon is Rs. 1.67

Given that the lemons are sold at a loss of 10 %.

Then, selling Price of each lemon = Cost Price - Loss 

⇒ 1.67 - 10 % of 1.67

⇒ 1.67 - 0.167

⇒ Rs. 1.503

So, selling price of 1 lemon is Rs. 1.503

Now selling price of 6 (half dozen) lemons = 1.503 × 6

= Rs. 9.018 

So, selling price of half dozen lemons is Rs. 9.018 or Rs. 9 (Approximately).
