Answer 2

Answer:

There is a loss. Total loss % = 84 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate for buying 120 apples = 3 per apple

new rate for buying 120 apples = 2 per apple

Therefore, total cost of 240 apples = 360 + 240

= 600 rupees

So, rate of selling 240 apples = 5 for 2 rupees

Therefore, money earned = 240/5 * 2

= 48 * 2

= 96 rupees.

There is a loss.

Loss amt = 600 - 96 = 504

Loss % =  504/600 * 100

= 504/ 6 = 84 % (ans.)
