Vegetable seller bought 10 dozens of potatoes for ₹120 He again bought 5 dozens of potatoes for ₹50 He again bought 5 dozens of potatoes for ₹30 Cost price of 20 dozens of potatoes = 120 + 50 + 30 = Rs. 200 Hence, cost price of 1 dozen of potatoes = \(\frac{200}{20}\) = Rs. 10 Now, selling price of 1 dozen of potatoes = Rs. 9 Discount% = 1 × \(\frac{100}{10}\) = 10% |
