By selling 36 banana a vendor losses the selling price of 4 banana.find his loss %
To find the loss percentage, we need to know the cost price of the bananas and the selling price of the bananas.
Let's assume the cost price of each banana is "C" and the selling price of each banana is "S".
Given that the vendor sells 36 bananas and loses the selling price of 4 bananas, we can calculate the total selling price of the bananas as follows:
Total selling price of 36 bananas = 36 * S
Also, the total selling price of 36 bananas should be equal to the cost price of 32 bananas (since the vendor loses the selling price of 4 bananas):
Total selling price of 36 bananas = Cost price of 32 bananas = 32 * C
To find the loss percentage, we need to compare the difference between the cost price and the selling price with the cost price:
Loss = Cost price - Selling price
Substituting the values:
32C - 36S = Loss
The loss percentage can then be calculated as:
Loss percentage = (Loss / Cost price) * 100
Now, we need additional information such as the cost price or the relationship between the cost price and selling price in order to proceed with the calculation.
To find the loss percentage, we need to calculate the loss and then divide it by the selling price.
Given:
Number of bananas sold (N) = 36
Loss per banana (L) = Selling price of 4 bananas
Loss = Loss per banana * Number of bananas sold = L * N = 4 * 36 = 144
To find the selling price, we need to calculate the total number of bananas sold and the selling price of each banana.
Total bananas sold = Number of bananas sold + Number of bananas lost
Total bananas sold = N + 4 = 36 + 4 = 40
Selling price of each banana = Total selling price / Total bananas sold
Now let's calculate the selling price of each banana.
Selling price of each banana = Loss / Total bananas sold = 144 / 40 = 3.6
To calculate the loss percentage, we use the formula:
Loss percentage = (Loss / Total selling price) * 100
Substituting the values:
Loss percentage = (144 / (3.6 * 36)) * 100 = (144 / 129.6) * 100 = 111.11%
Therefore, the vendor's loss percentage is approximately 111.11%.
