2. 400 mangoes were purchased at 125 per hundred and sold at a loss of 100. Find the
S.P. of one dozen mangoes.​

Answer 1

total cost of buying is.. 125×4=500

now loss of 100 in selling.. so selling price is 500-100=400

$cost \: of \: one \: mango = \frac{400}{400} = 1$

so cost of a dozen of mangoes is 1×12= 12 rs

Answer 2

Answer:

12 Rs will be S.P. for 1 dozen mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have given in the question that 400 mangoes were purchased at a price of 125 mangoes per 100

Therefore the cost of 400 mangoes were=$125\times4=500$

And they were sold at a loss of 100 Rs, i.e. for 400 Rs, 400 mangoes were sold

Therefore the price of 1 mango=$\dfrac{400}{400}=1$

Now the price of 12 mangoes i.e. 1 dozen mangoes=$1\times12=12$

Therefore our final answer would be 12 Rs
