Question

Manav purchased 10 dozen oranges at the rate of
9.60 per dozen. 6 oranges were rotten. He sold the
rest at 70 paise each. Find his gain or loss.​

Answer 1

he is getting loss of rs 16.2

Answer 2

Cost of 10 dozens = 9.6 × 10, or

Cost of 10 × 1dozen (12 units) = 96

120 oranges cost 96

6 oranges are rotten

●therefore, no. of oranges left=

(120- 6)= 114

●CP of 1 orange= 96/120

●CP of 114 oranges=

(96/120 × 114)= 91.2

●SP of 114 oranges=

(70/120 × 114)= 66.5

●● Loss=(91.2- 66.5) = 24.7
