CP of 10 bananas = 45
CP of 1 banana = 45/10 = 4.5

SP of 12 bananas = 51
SP of 1 banana = 51/12 = 4.25

SP < CP

therefore its a loss

loss = 4.5 - 4.25 = 0.15

loss% = 0.15 x 100 /4.5
= 5.56%

PiyushPandey007: please correct your answer
PiyushPandey007: it is completely wrong
PiyushPandey007: ₹4.5 - ₹4.25 = ₹0.25 not ₹0.15 like you wrote
PiyushPandey007: also the correct answer is 5.56% (Because you round off the decimal since it is 5.55555- recurring)

I will just reframe the question:-
"A man bought 10 bananas at the cost of 45 rupees and sold 12 bananas for 51 rupees find his gain or loss percentage. Please tell me the answer and explain me the math."

So according to your question,
the Cost Price (C.P) of 10 bananas = ₹45
then the cost of 1 banana = ₹4.5 (45/10)

while the Sale Price (S.P) of 12 bananas = ₹51
then the Sale Price of 1 banana = ₹4.25

Since the Sale Price is lower, the loss = Cost Price(C.P) - Sale Price(S.P)
=> 4.5 - 4.25 = ₹0.25

The loss percentage = (loss/Cost Price of 1 banana)* 100

=> (0.25/4.5)*100
=> 5.56% (approximately)

Therefore your answer is 5.56%
