Question

lemons were bought at rs 60 a dozen and sold at the rate of rs 40 per 10 .Find the gain or loss percent.

Answer 1

answers is loss of 20 percent

Answer 2

Solution:-

Cost of 12 lemons = Rs. 60

Cost of 1 lemon = Rs. (60÷12) = Rs. 5

[ 1 dozon = 12 pieces ]

Also,

10 lemons sold by = Rs. 40

Selling Price of 1 lemon = Rs. (40÷10) = Rs. 4

Cost Price of 1 lemon = Selling Price of 1 lemon

loss % = C.P - S.P/C.P× 100

=> 5- 4 / 4 ×100

=> 1 /4 ×100

=> loss% = 25%
