Question

Oranges are bought at 6 per Rs.20 and sold at 4 per Rs.18. Find the gain or loss%.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. = 6/20 as S.P. = 4/18

6/20= 0.3

4/18 = 0.22

GAIN= C.P.- S.P.

   = 0.3 - 0.22

   = 0.08

   GAIN% = gain/ C.P. ×100

    =  0.08/0.3 ×100

    =  8/0.3

    =  26.66% answer

i hope it help you guys

Answer 2

Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost of 1 orange:

6 oranges = Rs 20

1 orange = 20 ÷ 6 = Rs 10/3

Find the selling price of 1 orange:

4 oranges = Rs 18

1 orange = 18/4 = Rs 9/2

Find the profit / loss:

Since 9/2 > 10/3 ⇒ It is a profit

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Profit = 9/2 - 10/3 = Rs 7/6

Find the profit percentage:

Profit percentage = (profit ÷ cost price) x 100

Profit percentage = ( 7/6 ÷ 10/3 ) x 100 = 35%
