Question

a vendor sell 10 apples in 1 rupee and gained14%.then how much % he loss if he sell 12 apples in 1 rupee??
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price (S.P.) of 10 apples = 1

S.P. of 1 apple = 1/10

profit 40% so, relation between S.P. and C.P. ( cost price)

S.P. = 1.4 * C.P.

C.P. = 1/(1.4*10) = 1/14

no of apples he bought for 1 Rs = 1 / C.P. of 1 apple

= 1/(1/14) = 14 Apples.
