Question

Ramlal bought oranges at rs.30 per dozen . he had to sell them at loss of 5 per cent . find s.p.

Answer 1

Solutions :-

[ 1 Dozen = 12 Units ]

Given :-
Ramlal bought oranges at Rs 30 per dozen.

Loss % = 5 %


Cost Price (C.P) of 12 oranges = Rs 30


Find the Selling price (S.P) :-

S.P = C.P - Loss % of C.P
= 30 - 5% of 30
= 30 - 0.05 × 30
= 30 - 1.5
= 28.5


Hence,
The selling price (S.P) is Rs 28.5

Answer 2

SOLUTION :-

Ramlal bought 1 dozen oranges at Rs 30

So,

He bought 12 oranges

[ ∴ As 1 dozen = 12 ]

Cost Price (C.P) of 1 dozen oranges = Rs 30

And he sells the oranges at loss of 5%

To be found :-

Selling Price (S.P) of the oranges

We know that,

S.P = [ [tex] C.P \times \frac{100 - Loss%}{100} ]

S.P =  [tex] 30 \times \frac{100 - 5}{100}

S.P =  [tex] 30 \times \frac{95}{100}

S.P = 28.5

Hence,

The Selling Price (S.P) of 1 dozen oranges is Rs 28.50
