3. I dozen bananas cost $60. If the
fruit seller sold 5 for $6. What is
the gain?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no gain, there is a loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen = 12 bananas

12 bananas = $60

Therefore, 1 banana = $60/12 = $5

____________________________

the shopkeeper sold,

5 bananas = $6

1 banana = $6/5 = $1.2

____________________________

$5 > $1.2

CP > SP

Therefore it is a loss.

____________________________

CP of 12 bananas = $60

SP of 12 bananas = $(1.2×12) = $14.4

Loss = CP - SP

= $60 - $14.4

= $45.6
