Question

oranges are bought at 6 for Rs 20 and sold at 4 for Rs 18 . find the gain or loss per cent.

Answer 1

Here's your answer!!

________________________________

Oranges are bought at 6 for ₹20

Cost of one oranges =
$= > \frac{20}{6}$

Oranges are sold at 4 for ₹18.

Spelling Price of one oranges =
$= > \frac{18}{4}$

Here,

SP > CP
So,it's a gain

And,Gain = SP-CP

$= > \frac{18}{4} - \frac{20}{6} \\ = > \frac{54 - 40}{12} \\ = > \frac{14}{12}$

$gain\% = \frac{gain}{cp} \times 100$

$= > \frac{ \frac{14}{12} }{ \frac{20}{6} } \times 100$

$= > \frac{14}{12} \times \frac{6}{20} \times 100$
$= > 35$

Hence,

Gain = 35 %
