Question

By selling 144 hens, Kamal lost the SP of 6 hens. Find his loss percent. Had he he purchased them for ₹ 7200, what would have been the SP of one hen?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let SP of 1 hen = Rs.k

==> SP of 144 hens = Rs.144k 

Loss = SP of 6 hens = 6k.

==> CP = SP + Loss = 144k + 6K = 150k.

Hence loss % = (Loss/CP) x 100

= (6k/150k) X 100 = 4 %.

---------------------------

Now if CP of 144 hens = Rs. 7200,

Then SP of 144 hens at 4% loss = [(100-Loss%)/(100)]xCP

= [(100-4)/(100)]x7200

= Rs.6912. 

Therefore SP of one hen = SP of 144 hens /No. of hens

= 6912/144

= Rs.48
