A vendor bought oranges at 5 for ₹15 and sold them at 3 for ₹5. Find his loss percent.
Explanation:
Oranges were bought at 5 for ₹15, hence cost price of 15 oranges will be Rs. 45
Oranges were sold at 3 for ₹5, hence 15 oranges will be sold for Rs. 25
∴ Loss = 45 - 25 = 20
∴ Loss % = 20/45 × 100% = 44(4/9)%
Hence, option (d).
