oranges are bought at the rate of Rs15 per dozen and sold at the rate

1.	oranges are bought at the rate of Rs15 per dozen and sold at the rate of Rs 20 per dozen. find the gain percent
Answer» 1 dozen = 12 pieces So, cost price of 1 dozen of Oranges = Rs 15 So,cost price, C.P. of 1 Oranges = Rs 15 ÷ 12 = Rs 1.25 It is given that the selling price of 12 Oranges = Rs 20 So, selling price, S.P. of 1 Oranges = Rs 20÷12 = Rs 1.66 It is seen that, C.P. of 1 banana < S.P. of 1 Oranges. ∴ Profit obtained on selling 1 Oranges = S.P.—C.P. = Rs 1.66—Rs 1.25 = Re 0.41 Now, ‎‎Using Formula of Profit% = (0.41/1.25) * 100 = 32.8% sorry but it is wrong answer of this question is 33.33%

oranges are bought at the rate of Rs15 per dozen and sold at the rate of Rs 20 per dozen. find the gain percent

Answer»

1 dozen = 12 pieces

So, cost price of 1 dozen of Oranges = Rs 15

So,cost price, C.P. of 1 Oranges = Rs 15 ÷ 12 = Rs 1.25

It is given that the selling price of 12 Oranges = Rs 20

So, selling price, S.P. of 1 Oranges = Rs 20÷12 = Rs 1.66

It is seen that, C.P. of 1 banana < S.P. of 1 Oranges.

∴ Profit obtained on selling 1 Oranges = S.P.—C.P. = Rs 1.66—Rs 1.25 = Re 0.41

Now,

‎‎Using Formula of Profit%

= (0.41/1.25) * 100

= 32.8%

sorry but it is wrong

answer of this question is 33.33%
