Question

kannan has a fruit shop. he sells 1 dozen banana at a loss of Rs 2 each because it may get rotten next day. what is his loss? with explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of bananas =12

Supposed cost of 1 banana =4 Rs

Cost of 12 bananas =12*4=48

Loss for 1 banana = 2 rupees

Loss for 12 bananas= 2*12=24

Remaining money after loss= 48-24=24 Rs

So

selling price for 12 bananas = 24 Rs

Selling price of 1 banana is =24/12=2  Rs

So net loss will be original price/selling price *100

= 48/24*100

=50%  loss

Step-by-step explanation:

He sold banana with the loss of 50%. Thus, he sold out bananas in half price.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our question is: kannan has a fruit shop. he sells 1 dozen banana at a loss of Rs 2 each because it may get rotten next day.

Our aim is to find what is his loss? with explanation​.

We know that the total number of bananas is equal to 12, and we also know that he sells it with a Rs.2 loss.

Lets suppose that the cost of each banana is Rs.4.

In order to find what is his loss in a dozen we need to multiply the loss in each banana for the total number of bananas.

Thus we know that a dozen of bananas costs 12 * 4 which is equal to 48.

In one banana he loses Rs.2, then for 12 bananas he loses 2 * 12 equal to 24.

Hence we would have that the loss for a dozen of bananas is equal to:

-- >  48 - 24 = Rs.24

We can see that the relation between this prices is:

24 : 48 = 0.5

Hence he sold banana with the loss of 50%, that is, he sold out bananas in half price.

I hope this helps your studies!
