Answer 2

Answer:

SELLING PRICE = 21.6 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of one dozen oranges = 24 rupees

so, CP of dozen oranges = 24 rupees.

• CP means the cost price.

• Cost price is the price of the item at which he bought it.

Amit has a loss of 10% after selling the oranges.

• Profit or Loss on an item is calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price.

• Selling price is the price at which he sold it.

The percentage of loss can be calculated by:

                                      LOSS%=$\frac{Loss}{CP}$×100

Given that loss% is 10. so, by substituting the values;

         10 = $\frac{loss}{24}$×100

          loss = $\frac{240}{100}$

           loss = 2.4

Loss by selling a dozen apples is 2.4 rupees.

Loss =  selling price - cost price

loss = SP - CP

2.4 = SP-24

SP = 21.6

When apples were sold at rupees 21.6 he got a loss of rupees2.4.

Hence, the selling price of dozen apples is 21.6 rupees.
