Question

if a dozen of oranges is purchased Rs 75 and each pair is sold at Rs 10 then what will be the profit percentage and lose percentage of the seller​

Answer 1

Cost Price of 1 dozen of oranges = ₹ 75

C.P. of 12 oranges = ₹ 75

( Note : 1 dozen = 12 )

Selling Price of 1 pair of oranges = ₹ 10

S.P. of 6 pairs of oranges = ₹ 10 × 6 = ₹ 60

( Note : 1 pair = 2 , 6 pairs = 6 × 2 )

Profit/Loss = C.P. - S.P.

= ₹ 75 - ₹ 60

= ₹ 15

•°• Loss = ₹ 15

Now ,

Loss % = Loss × 100

C.P.

Loss % = ₹ 15 × 100

₹ 75

= ₹ 1 × 100

₹ 5

= 1 × 20 %

= 20 %

•°• Loss % = 20 %
