Question

1. A dealer bought 100 flower vases for 40. Twenty vases were broken during transportation . Air
what rate should he sell the remaining to gain 10% ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹55

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of vases = ₹40 × 100 = ₹4000

To gain 10%, selling price = ₹$\frac{100+10}{100}$× 4000 = ₹4400

But, 20 vases were broken. Therefore, the dealer can only sell the remaining 100-20 = 80 vases.

∴ Selling price of 80 vases = ₹4400

⇒ Selling price of 1 vase = ₹4400 ÷ 80 = ₹55.
