Question

Oranges are bought at 6 gor rs 20 and sold at 4 for rs 18. Find total loss or gain oercent

Answer 1

Solutions :-



We have,

Cost Price of 6 oranges = Rs 20
Selling price of 4 oranges = Rs 18


Find the cost price of 1 orange :-
6 oranges = Rs 20
1 orange = Rs 20/6 = Rs 3.33


Find the Selling price of 1 orange :-
4 oranges = Rs 18
1 orange = Rs 18/4 = Rs 4.5

Now,
Cost Price of 1 orange = Rs 3.33
Selling price of 1 orange = Rs 4.5


Selling price is greater than the Cost price. Therefore, Gain.


Gain = S.P - C.P
= Rs (4.5 - 3.33)
= Rs 1.17

Gain % = (Gain × 100)/C.P %
= (1.17 × 100)/3.33 %
= 117/3.33 %
= 35.14 % approx.


Answer : Total gain percent = 35.14 %
