Question

Siya sold her old computer for 16,500. If she suffered a loss of 25,500, find the loss percent.
A seller buys lemons at the rate of 5 for 10 and sells them at the rate of 2 for 5. Find the gain percent
for each lemon​

Answer 1

Answer:

60.71 and 25

Explanation:

Total cost price for Siya = 16500 + 25500 = 42000

Loss percent = (Loss) * 100/ Cost price

= 25500 * 100 / 42000 = 60.71

Cost price of 1 lemon = 10/5 = Rs. 2

Selling price of 1 lemon = 5/2 = Rs. 2.5

gain = selling price - cost price = Rs. 0.5

gain percentage = gain * 100 / cost price

= 0.5 *100 / 2

= 50 /2 =25%

Explanation:

Sp of old computer =rs 16,500

loss of old computer = rs 25,500

cp = 42000

loss percent = loss ÷ cp x 100= 60.71
