Question

Find the gain per cent.
11. By selling 45 lemons, a vendor loses a sum equal to the selling price of 3 lemons. Find
his loss percent​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the lemons price as x

The SP of 3 lemons = 3x

SP of 45 lemons = 45x

∴ The CP of 45 lemons = 45x + 3x = 48x

Since, SP is less than CP so it’s a loss.

Loss = CP – SP

= 48x – 45x = 3x Loss % = (loss × 100) / CP = (3x × 100) / 48x =300x/48x = 6.25%

∴ The Loss percent is 6.25%

$Let 'x' \: \: be \: the \: selling \: \: price \: \: of \: \: one \: \: lemon Number of \: \: lemon \:  =45$

$So, total \: \: selling \: \: price =45x$

$Loss = selling \: \: price \: \: of 3 lemons =3x$

$So total cost =SP+Loss=45x+3x=48x$

Loss % =loss /Total cost×100

 =48x3x×100

             =483×100

             =16100

             =6.25%
