Answer 1

Answer:

The Selling Price of each orange is Rs. 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Bought oranges at = Rs. 20

Sold at a loss of = 10%

To find :

The Selling price

Solution :

Here :

• Cost Price = Rs. 20
• Loss = 10%
• Selling Price = ??

★ ${\boxed{\sf\:{SP = \frac{(100 - Loss\%)} {100} \times CP}}}$

$\sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = \dfrac{100 - 10\%}{100} \times 20 \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = \frac{90}{100} \times 20 \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = \frac{1800}{100} \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = 18$

The Selling Price of the 1 dozen oranges is Rs. 18.

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Selling Price of each orange =

$\longrightarrow$ 18 ÷ 12

$\longrightarrow$ 1.5

$\therefore$ The Selling Price of each orange is Rs. 1.5

Answer 2

AnswEr :

⠀

Selling Price of an Orange is Rs. 1 and 50 Paise.

⠀

Explanation :

• CP of 1 Dozen Orange = Rs. 20

• Loss% on Selling = 10%

• SP of an Orange = ?

⋆ We Know that :

$\large \boxed{ \bold{SP = CP \times \frac{(100 - loss\%)}{100} }}$

$\implies \bold{SP \: = 20 \times \dfrac{(100 - 10)}{100} }$

$\implies \bold{SP =20 \times \dfrac{90}{100} }$

$\implies \bold{SP = \dfrac{18 \cancel{00}}{ \cancel{100}} }$

$\implies \bold{SP = Rs.18} \:$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

➟ SP of 1 Dozen Orange (12 Orange) = 18

➟ SP of 1 Orange = $\bold{ \dfrac{18}{12}}$

➟ SP of 1 Orange = Rs. 1.5

⠀

$\large\therefore$ Selling Price of an Orange is Rs. 1 and 50 Paise.
