Question

The selling price of 6 bananas is the same as the C.P. of 5 bananas. Find the profit or loss per cent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the cost price of 1 banana be x

Find the selling price of 1 banana:

6 bananas = 5x

1 banana = 5/6 x

Find the profit / loss:

Since the cost price is greater than the selling price

⇒ It is a loss

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Loss = x - 5/6 x

Loss = 1/6 x

Find the loss percentage :

Loss percentage = (Loss ÷ Cost Price ) x 100

Loss percentage = (1/6 x ÷ x ) x 100 = 16.67%

Answer: There is a loss of 16.67%
