A vendor loses the selling price of 4 oranges on selling 36 oranges. His loss per cent is
-
-
12 1 % 2 - 9%
- 10%
-
11 1 % 2
-
Correct Option: C
As per the given in question ,
S.P. of 36 oranges = C.P. of 36 oranges – S.P. of 4 oranges
⇒ S.P. of 40 oranges = C.P. of 36 oranges
| ∴ Loss percent = | × 100 = 10% | 40 |
We can find the required answer with the help of given method :
Here, p = 36, q = 4
| Loss % = | p + q |
| Loss % = | = 10% | 36 + 4 |
