Question

10 kilogram of tomatoes were bought for 270 rupees. Of this, one kilogram was spoilt. To get 20 percentage profit, at what price a kilogram should the remaining be sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

36 rupees/Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

10 Kg for 270 rupees

1 KG for 270/10=27 rupees per kg

20% profit of 270= 270 * 120/100= 324 rupees

Now 1 Kg was spoiled only 9 Kg is left

Remaining should be sold at 324/9= 36 rupees/Kg

Answer 2

● The cost of 10 kilograms of tomatoes is 270 rupees.

● That means 100% cost of tomatoes is 270 rupees.

● To get 20% more profit the profit should be one 20% and cost should be 324 rupees.

● If 1 kg of tomatoes are spoilt than 9 kgs of tomatoes should be sold for 324 rupees.

● So selling price is 324/9 = 36 rs.

● So to get 20% more profit each kg of tomato should be sold for 36 rupees.
