Question

Ramlal bought oranges at rupees 30% he had to sell them at a loss of 5% find the selling price​

Answer 1

Selling price of the oranges is $28.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Ramlal bought oranges at Rs.30 per dozen.

i.e

Cost price of the oranges = Rs 30

He had to sell them at a loss of 5%.

5% is written in the decimal form

= 0.05

Loss price = 0.05 × Cost price of the oranges

                 = 0.05 × 30

                 = Rs 1.5

Loss = Cost price - Selling  price

1.5 = 30 - Selling price

Selling price = 30 - 1.5

Selling price = $ 28.5

Therefore the selling price of the oranges is $28.5 .
