Question #7128c

Answer 1

`27%`

Explanation:

Buying:
He bought `200 color(orange)(" oranges")`
for `₹120` per score

`1` score has `20 color(orange)(" oranges")`
So, he bought `200/20=10` scores of `color(orange)(" oranges")`

`color(red)("Total cost" = 10times120 = ₹1200 ->"CP"`

Selling:
He sold `=200-25 = 175 color(orange)(" oranges")`
`color(blue)("Total money he got" = 175times₹5=₹875->"SP"`

As `"CP" > "SP"`, he is at Loss.

#"Loss" = color(red)("CP"-color(blue)("SP")=1200-color(blue) (875))=color(violet)(₹325#

`"Loss percent" = "Loss"/"CP"times100`
`= color(violet)(₹325)/ color(red)(₹1200)times 100`

`=27%`
