Question

SOME TOFFEES ARE BOUGHT AT 11 FOR Rs 5 AND THE SAME NUMBER AT 9 FOR Rs 5. IF THE WHOLE LOT OF TOFFEES IS SOLD 10 FOR Rs 5 ,FIND THE GAIN OR LOSS %​

Answer 1

Answer:

in first condition

CP of 11 toffee=₹10

CP of 1 toffee=₹10/11

in second condition

CP of 9 toffee =₹10

CP of 1 toffee=₹10/9

therefore, CP of both toffees=₹10/11+₹10/9

==₹200/99

so, cp of 1 toffee=200/99÷2

==₹100/99

sp of 1 toffee =₹1(given)

loss=cp-sp

=100/99-1

=₹1/99

loss percent=1/99/100/99*100

=1 percent loss

ans =1%
