Question

Oranges are bought at 11 for a rupee and an equal number more at 9 a rupee. If these are sold at 10 for a rupee, find the loss or gain percent

Answer 1

Answer:

1% Loss

Step-by-step explanation:

let say 99X oranges are bought at

11 for a rupee

=> Cost = 99X/11 = 9X  Rs

Then 99X oranges are bought at

9 for a rupee

=> Cost = 99X/9 = 11X  Rs

Total Cost = 9X + 11X = 20X Rs

Total oranges = 99X + 99X = 198X

Sold 10 for  1 Rs

sold 1 for 1/10 Rs

198X sold for = 198X/10 = 19.8X Rs

Loss = 20X - 19.8X = 0.2X Rs

Loss % = (0.2X/20X) * 100 = 1 %

1% Loss
