Question

Akhil is a fish vendor. One day he bought 12 kilograms
of fish 140 rupees a kilogram. He spent 120 rupees to take
this to the shop. 4 kilograms of fish were spoilt and
he sold the rest 180 rupees a kilogram. Did he gain on
lose money in this?What percent ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. P of 12 kg of fish =140 × 12=1680 Rs

Total C.P =1680+120 = 1700

since 4 kg fish was spoiled

He sold 8 kg fish

Total S.P =8×180= 1440

Loss = C.P - S.P

= 1680- 1440

=240

Loss% = loss ×100/ C.P

=240× 100 / 1680

= 14.3 %

Answer 2

Answer :-

Given:-

Buying price of 12kg of fish = 149 × 12 = 1680 rupees

Expense to take them to shop = 120 rupees

Cost price =1680 + 120 = 1800 rupees

weight of fish Sold = 12 - 4 = 8kg

selling price = 180 × 8 = 1440 rupees

Loss in the deal = 1800 - 1440 = 360 rupees

loss percent = 360 × 100 = 20%

1800
