Question

By selling 36 bananas, a vender loses the selling price of 4 bananas, find his loss per cent.

Answer 1

Hi

Let

selling price of each banana = Rs x

Selling price of 36 bananas = Rs 36x

Loss = Rs 4x

Cost price of bananas = s.p + loss

C.p = 36x + 4x = Rs 40x

Therefore ,

Loss % = ( loss × 100 )/c.p

= ( 4x × 100 )/40x

= 10

His loss percentage = 10%

I hope this helps you.
