1.	A Shopkeeper Buys Bananas At 15 For Rs 12 And Sells At 12 For Rs.15. Find His Gain Or Loss Percent?
Answer» Given, the C.P of 15 bananas = RS. 12 => C.P of 1 banana = Rs. 12/15 => C.P of 12 bananas = Rs. (12 /15)* 12 = Rs. 144/15 = Rs. 48/ 5 Thus,C.P of 12 bananas = Rs. 48/ 5 Given,S,P of 12 bananas = Rs. 15 Gain = (S.P - C.P)of 12 bananas = 15- (48/5) = (75- 48) / 5 = 27/ 5 =>Gain = Rs. 27/ 5 PERCENTAGE Gain = (Gain/C.P of 12 bananas) * 100% = (27/5) / (48/5) * 100% = (27/48) * 100% = 56.25% Thus,Gain % = 56.25%.

Answer»

Given, the C.P of 15 bananas = RS. 12

=> C.P of 1 banana = Rs. 12/15

=> C.P of 12 bananas = Rs. (12 /15)* 12

= Rs. 144/15

= Rs. 48/ 5

Thus,C.P of 12 bananas = Rs. 48/ 5

Given,S,P of 12 bananas = Rs. 15

Gain = (S.P - C.P)of 12 bananas

= 15- (48/5)

= (75- 48) / 5

= 27/ 5

=>Gain = Rs. 27/ 5

PERCENTAGE Gain = (Gain/C.P of 12 bananas) * 100%

= (27/5) / (48/5) * 100%

= (27/48) * 100%

= 56.25%

Thus,Gain % = 56.25%.

Given, the C.P of 15 bananas = Rs. 12
