3094.100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of Rs. 48 per dozen. The percentage of profit or loss is:
14$ \dfrac{2}{7} $% gain
15% gain
14$ \dfrac{2}{7} $% loss
15 % loss
Explanation:

C.P. of 1 orange = Rs.$ \left(\dfrac{350}{100} \right) $= Rs. 3.50

S.P. of 1 orange = Rs.$ \left(\dfrac{48}{12} \right) $= Rs. 4

$\therefore$ Gain% =$ \left(\dfrac{0.50}{3.50} \times 100\right) $%=$ \dfrac{100}{7} $% = 14$ \dfrac{2}{7} $%

3095.Sam purchased 20 dozens of toys at the rate of Rs. 375 per dozen. He sold each one of them at the rate of Rs. 33. What was his percentage profit?
3.5
4.5
5.6
6.5
Explanation:

Cost Price of 1 toy = Rs.$ \left(\dfrac{375}{12} \right) $= Rs. 31.25

Selling Price of 1 toy = Rs. 33

So, Gain = Rs. (33 - 31.25) = Rs. 1.75

$\therefore$ Profit % =$ \left(\dfrac{1.75}{31.25} \times 100\right) $%=$ \dfrac{28}{5} $% = 5.6%

3096.The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
15
16
18
25
Explanation:

Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of $ x $ articles = Rs. $ x $.

S.P. of $ x $ articles = Rs. 20.

Profit = Rs. $\left(20 - x\right)$.

$\therefore \left(\dfrac{20 - x}{x} \times 100 = 25\right) $

$\Rightarrow$ 2000 - 100$ x $ = 25$ x $

125$ x $ = 2000
