Answer:    10%

mark me as brianliest plz

Step-by-step explanation:

Let SP of an oranges be x then,

SP of 36 oranges = 36 x

Here he loses SP of 4 oranges

i.e. Loss ( L ) = 4x

Now,

CP Of 36 oranges = SP +L

= 36 x + 4x = 40x

Then,

Loss percent = L /CP *  100%

         = 4x / 40x * 100%  

      = 10%

Answer 2

QUESTION :- On selling 36 oranges a vendor loses the selling price 4 oranges. Find his loss percent.

SOLUTION :-

Let SP be an orange be $x$.

SP of 36 oranges = $36x$

A.T.Q → He lost selling price of 4 oranges that is loss (L) = $4x$.

We know that,

CP = SP + L

Here,

CP = Cost Price

SP = Selling Price

L = Loss

So now, CP of 36 oranges = $36x + 4x = 40x$

Loss percent = $\frac{L}{CP} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{4x}{40x} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{1}{10} \times 100 \%$

$= 10 \%$

Hence the loss percent is 10%.
