Answer 2

Answer:

percentage of loss is 12.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

total expense 2000+250 = 2250 rupees

after extracting 1kg rotten apple's the quantity of remaining apple is 4 kg

If he sold apples at 240 per kg then his total income is 240 × 4 = 960

total loss = 2250 - 960 = 1290

∴ percentage of loss is 1290 / 100 = 12.9%
