Question

By selling 36 bananas a vendor loses the selling price of 4 bananas. Fond his loss percent

Answer 1

Greetings ..!

Let the S.P of each banana be Rs 1 .

SP ,S.P of 36 bananas = Rs 36 .

Then , loss = SP of 4 bananas = Rs 4 .

Thus, C.P = S.P + Loss = Rs(36+4) = Rs 40

∴Loss percent = Loss ÷ C.P × 100 = 4/40*100 = 10 %

Answer : Hence , Loss suffered by vendor = 10%.

$\red { \textsf{Cost Price = 36x+4x = 40x}}$

$\red{ \textsf{Selling Price=36x}}$

$\red{\mathsf{Loss \: Percentage = \frac{Cost Price - Selling Price }{Cost Price} \times 100 }}$

$\red{\mathsf{Loss \: Percentage = \frac{4 \cancel{x}}{40 \cancel{x}} \times 100}}$

$\red{\mathsf{Loss \: Percentage = \frac{100}{10} }}$
