Question

If s.p of 18 orange is equal to c.p of 16 orange. find loss or gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

11.11 % Loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Say cost Price of 1 orange = C

Cost Price of 16 orange = 16C

Cost Price of 16 orange = Sell price of 18 orange

=> Sell price of 18 orange = 16C

=> Sell price of 1 orange = 16C/18

=>  Sell price of 1 orange = 8C/9

As 8/9 < 1 so sell price of orange is less than cost price

So there would be Loss

Loss = Cost Price - Sell Price

=> Loss = C - 8C/9

=> Loss = C/9

Loss % = (Loss/Cost Price) * 100

=> Loss % = ((C/9)/C) * 100

=> Loss % = 100/9

=> Loss % = 11.11

11.11 % Loss
