Question

S.P. of 6 bananas is same as C.P. of 5 bananas. Find the gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

16.67% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P. of one banana be Rs.1.

C.P. of 5 bananas = Rs.5

=> S.P. of 6 bananas = Rs.5

C.P. of 6 bananas = Rs.6

C.P. > S.P.

Hence, loss = C.P. - S.P. = Rs.(6-5) = Rs.1

Loss % = Loss/CP × 100 = 1/6 × 100 = 50/3 = 16.67%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP of 1 banana = Rs 1

CP of 5 bananas =Rs 5 (Given)

=》SP of 6 banana = Rs 5

CP of 6 bananas = Rs 6

=》 CP > SP

Hence, loss = CP- SP = Rs (6-5) = Rs1

Loss% = Loss/CP ×100 = 1/6×100 = 50/3 = 16.67% ANS.
