Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Question:-

The cost of 10 bananas is equal to selling price of 12. Find the loss percent?

Solution:-

Let the cost price of 10 apples be ₹ x

Then, selling price of 12 apples ( SP) = ₹ x (given)

Cost price of 12 apples (CP)= x * 12 / 10 = 1.2 x

% Loss =  (CP of 12 apples - SP of 12 apples) * 100 / CP of 12 apples.  

So, % loss = (1.2 x - x ) * 100 / 1.2 x

= 0.2 x * 100 / 1.2 x = 20 / 1.2 = 16.67 %

Answer: 16.67 %
