Question

By selling 144 hens swarn lost the selling price of 6 hen find the loss percent had he purchased them for 7200,what would be the s.p of one hen

Answer 1

Sp  = x

SP of 144 hens = 144x

Loss = 6x

CP =144x + 6x = 7200

150x = 7200

x = 7200/150

x = 48

SP of 144 hens = 144 x 48 = 6912

Loss in percent = 6x/150x x 100 = 4% (((6x48)/7200)   x 100 = 4%)
