Step-by-step explanation:
Let c.p of 1 orange = x
therfore c.p of 36 oranges = 36x
let s.p per orange = s
therefore sp of 36 oranges = 36s
loss as given = sp of 4 oranges = 4s
but as per definition of loss,
LOSS= C.P-S.P
i.e. 4s = 36x - 36s
4s + 36s = 36x
40s = 36x
therefore : s = 9x/10
now, loss% = loss X 100 / C.P
loss% = 4s X 100 / 36x
substitute s = 9x/10
loss% = 4 X 9x/10 X100 /36x
= 10
therefore loss is 10% hope this helps u
