Question

Find his gain or loss. on pens.
12. Three dozen bananas were sold for Rs 72. If there is a loss of Rs 36. Find the
C.P. of 1 banana.​

Answer 1

3 dozen bananas = 12×3 = 36 bananas

36 bananas for Rs 72

1 banana for 72×1/36 = Rs 2 (sold price)

If the loss is Rs 36

Total Real price = 72+36 = 108 Rs

36 bananas for Rs 108

1 banana for 108/36 = Rs 3

Therefore the cost price of 1 banana is Rs 3 but he sold one banana at Rs 2 so he suffered Rs 36 loss
