Answer 1

We know that 1 score = 20.

Given,

⇒ 20 oranges = 120

⇒ 1 orange = 6

Then, 200 oranges = 1200.

So, the cost price = 1200.

Now,

Given that number of oranges rotten = 25.

Then, Number of oranges unrotten = 200 - 25 = 175.

Given that he sold the remaining oranges for 5 each.

So, the selling price = 5 * 175 = 875.

Here, Cost price > Selling price. So, Loss has occured.

We know that Loss = Cost price - Selling price

⇒ 1200 - 875

⇒ 325.

We know that Loss% = (Loss/Cost price) * 100

⇒ (325/1200) * 100

⇒ ~27%.

Therefore, Loss percentage = 27%.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 27 after rounding of correct answer is 27.08

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 score is of 20 oranges

fruit seller bought=200 oranges

so we have to divide 200 with 20 to get how many scores

so 200/20=10

so 10 scores is eqal to 120*10

so cp is 1200

rotten oranges=25

so fresh oranges are 200-25=175

so our fresh oranges are175

sp of 1 oranges =5

sp of 175 oranges are 175*5=875

so cp is greater than sp so thats why it is loss so we have to find loss

so loss is 1200-875 is 325

so we have to find loss percent

loss percent is loss/cp*100

so 325/1200*100 is 27.08

hence your question is solved
