Answer 1

Answer:

oranges are bought at 6 for rupees 20 and sold at 4 for rupees 18. find the gain or loss per cent.Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 6 oranges = rs 20

cost price of 1 orange = rs 20/6

sold price or selling price of 4 oranges = rs 18

sold price of 1 orange = rs18/4

you can see that there is a profit,

so profit = P = selling price - cost price

= rs18/4-20/6

= 7/6

profit% or u can say gain%= profit/cost price ×100 ( it is a formula )

= 7/6/20/6×100

= 7×6/20×7×100

= 35% is the profit or gain %
