Question

12. A man bought 420 apples for Re. 280 but 84 were rotten. Yet he earned 20%. Estimate how did he sell? a) Rs.1.25 b) Rs, 1.50 c) Rs. 0.95 d) Rs. 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

(d) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought 420 apples = 280 rs

• 84 were rotten .so, remaining apple is 336 --(1)
• let's take cost price = 100% ( buying price)
• profit is 20% i.e., 120 % of 280 rs is 336rs

if can't how means I'll solve and give the profit of 280 rs.

100% = 280

120% = x

apply cross multiplication,we can get x = 336 rs--(2)

equating 1 and 2

rs 336 = 336 apples

rs 1 = 1 apple

that's how he got 20% profit.
