Answer 1

Answer:

he got 55% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

C. P = 20*88=1,760/-

S. P = 12*66= 792/-

since S. P<C.P he had loss

loss = C. P-S. P= 1760-792=968/-

loss percent = loss/C.P *100= 968/1760*100=55%

Answer 2

aman bought 20 oranges at ₹88

so let us first calculate in how many rupees does he bought 12 oranges= 88/20 = 4.4

= 4.4×12 = 52.8

he sold 12 oranges at ₹66

so let's minus 66 and 52.8 so that we can get the profit

= 66-52.8

= 13.2 answer

profit percent = PROFIT × 100/ CP

= 13.2×100/52.8 = 25% answer
