Question

Aman buys 100 bananas for 90 rs and sells them at eighty paise per banana. Find the profit % or loss %.​

Answer 1

It is given in the question that Aman buys 100 banana for rupees =90

while sell them at 80 paisa per banana

in this question first we need to find the amount to sell one banana

let consider amount of one banana=x

$x=\frac{90}{100}$

$=0.9\:Rs. =90\:paise$

As given in the question,

He sell one banana at 80 paisa

As the SP of a banana is less than CP of a banana, so, there will be loss in this case.

So, loss on one banana will be $0.9-0.8=0.1\:Rs. = 10\:Paise$

As we know that,

$\%Loss = \frac{Loss}{CP}\times 100\%\\\%Loss = \frac{10}{90}\times 100\%\\\%Loss = \frac{100}{9}\% = 11\frac{1}{9}\%$

Hence, value of loss% will be 11.11%
