Question

Krishan bought oranges at $Rs50$ a dozen. He had to sell them at a loss of $4\%$. Find the selling price of one orange.

Answer 1

As it is given that Krishan bought oranges at $Rs50$ a dozen

Want to sell them at a loss of $4\%$ So,

$4\%of50=\frac{4}{100}\times 50=2Rs$

So, Selling Price of one dozen of oranges in loss of $4\%$ is $Rs50-2=Rs48$

As we know that, $1Dozen=12quantity$

So, selling price of one orange will be $\frac{48}{12}=4Rs$

Hence Selling price is$Rs4$
