Question

Three dozen bananas were sold for Rs 72. If there is a loss of Rs 36. Find the C.P. of 1 banana.​

Answer 1

For the calculation we need to know how many pieces contain a Dozen First as the questions asks pieces…!

1 Dozen = Generally 12 Pieces

Now answering the question -

36 Dozens = ₹720

18 Bananas as pieces how much?

Let’s first convert 36 Dozens into Pieces as it will make the solution easy to understand as the question asked is in pieces!

So 36 x 12 (As 12 Pieces make a Dozen)

= 432 Pieces

Now let us know the Price per piece of Banana

720/432 Total Price Divided by 36 Dozens which is 432 Pieces

720/432 = ₹1.66666666666 |Price Per Piece|

(Now that’s Something :p)

So now that we know the Price per Piece it’s very easy to know the price of 18 Pieces…. Just Multiply

Final Answer - 18 x 1.66666666666

= 29.9999999 [₹30] Round Figure!

18 Bananas cost ₹30 making a 0.1 Profit :P
