Answer 1

HEY THERE!!!

Question;-

Oranges are bought at the rate of Rs 15 per dozen and sold at the rate of Rs 20 per dozen. find the gain percent?

Method of Solution;-

The solution to your question is given as,

1 dozen = 12 pieces

So, cost price of 1 dozen of Oranges = Rs 15

So, cost price, C.P. of 1 Oranges = Rs 15 ÷  12 = Rs 1.25

It is given that the selling price of 12 Oranges = Rs 20

So, selling price, S.P. of 1 Oranges = Rs 20 ÷12 = Rs 1.66

It is seen that, C.P. of 1 banana < S.P. of 1 Oranges.

∴Profit obtained on selling 1 Oranges = S.P. — C.P. = Rs 1.66— Rs 1.25 = Re 0.41

Now,

‎‎Using Formula of Profit%

$\implies \: \frac{0.41}{1.25} \times 100 \\ \\ \\ \implies \: \frac{41}{1.25} = 32.8\%$

Hence,

Oranges are bought at the rate of Rs 15 per dozen and sold at the rate of Rs 20 per dozen is 32.8%.

Answer 2

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

$\rule {168} {2}$

We know that,

1 dozen = 12


$\rule {168} {2}$

C. P {cost price} of Oranges = 15 ₹


To find C. P of 1 orange we should ➗ 15 by 12

$= > \: \frac{15}{12}$

C. P of 1 orange = ₹ 1.25


Also given that,

S. P of Oranges :- ₹ 20

S. P of 1 orange :-

Same thing as do in last ➗ 20/12

$= > \frac{20}{12} =$

➡️ ₹ 1.66

We see that Profit is obtained.

Profit = 1.66 - 1.25 = ₹ 0.41

Profit :- ₹ 0.41

$\rule {168} {2}$

We know that,


$= > \frac{0.41}{1.25} \times 100$


➡️ 32.8 %

$\huge {HENCE,}$

Oranges are bought at the rate of ₹15 per dozen and sold at the rate ₹ 20 per dozen is 32. 8 %.

$\rule {168} {2}$
