A vendor loses the selling price of 4 oranges on selling 36 oranges, His loss percent is:
Answer: Option B
 - (C.P. of 36 mangoes) - (S.P. of 36 mangoes) - Loss = (S.P. of 4 mangoes)
S.P. of 40 mangoes = C.P. of 36 mangoes
Let C.P. of each mango be Re. 1.
C.P. of 40 mangoes = Rs. 40; S.P. of 40 mangoes = Rs. 36
Loss% = 4 40 x 100 % = 10%.
