By selling 3 dozen Apple, a vendor loses the selling price of 4 Apple. His loss percent is :1). \(12\frac{1}{2}\% \)2). \(11\frac{1}{9}\% \)3). 10%4). None of these

Answer»

Let the SELLING PRICE of an apple = RS x

⇒ The selling price of 36 Apples = 36 × x = 36x

⇒ The Selling Price of 4 Apples = 4 × x = 4x

? When 36 Apples were sold the loss was equivalent to Selling price of 4 Apples

⇒ Loss = COST Price - Selling Price

⇒ 4x = Cost Price - 36x

⇒ Cost Price = 40x

⇒ Loss% = Loss/(Cost price) × 100 = (4x/40x) × 100 = 10%
