Question

Oranges are bought at 6 for rupees 10 and sold at 4 for rupees 9. Find the gain or loss percent

Answer 1

C.P of 6 orange = ₹10

C.P of 1 orange = ₹10/6

C.P = ₹10/6

S.P of 4 oranges = ₹9

S.P of one oranges = ₹9/4

S.P = ₹9/4

Loss = C.P-S.P

          ₹9/4-₹10/6

         ₹7/12

Loss%=7/12/9/4*100

         =700/27 ans

 

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of oranges is 6 for rupees 10

Sale price of oranges is 4 for rupees 9

cost price of each orange=10/6 = 5/3

sale price of each orange =9/4

Profit as sale price is greater than cost price.

Profit= S.P. -C.P.=9/4-5/3= 7/12 per orange

Profit on 6 oranges = 7/12*6=7/2= 3.5

Gain%=gain/cost price*100%

35/100*100% =35%
