Question

The CP of 6 oranges is equal to SP of 8 oranges.What is the profit/loss%

Answer 1

Let the cost price of each orange be $x$
Then the Cost Price of $8$ oranges will be $8x$

Since the CP of 6 oranges equals SP of 8 oranges,
Selling Price of $8$ oranges = $6x$

Loss = $8x-6x=2x$

Loss % = $\frac{2x}{8x}\times 100=25\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

50%. is Gain

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Let the cost price of one oranges be Rs.x

Therefore,

Cost price of 6 article =6x

Cost price of 4 articles =4x

Given that the selling price of 4 oranges is equal to the cost price of 6 oranges.

∴ Selling price of 4 oranges  =6x

Now, as we know that,

Gain %=

cost price

selling price−cost price

​

×100

∴Gain%=

4x

6x−4x

​

×100

⇒Gain %=

4x

2x

​

×100=50%

Hence the gain % is 50%.
