Answer 1

Answer:

the cost price of the mangoes is 1000

profit % = 20%

The selling price if profit is 35% is 1350 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

vendor sells mangoes at Rs40 per kg

He sold 30 kg of mangoes

Profit = 200

Now,

Total selling price SP = 40 × 30

                                   = 1200 Rs

Gain = SP - CP

200 = 1200 - CP

CP = 1200 - 200

CP = 1000

Hence, cost price of CP = 1000

Gain % =  

           =  

          = 20%

Find  the selling price if profit = 35%

SP =  

   =  

   =  

   = 1350 Rs
