Question

12. Harish purchased 50 dozen bananas for 135. Five dozen bananas could not be solo
because they were rotten. At what price per dozen should Harish sell the remaining bananas
so that he makes a profit of 20%?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

50 dozen bananas = 135 Rs.

Rotten bananas = 5

Remaining bananas = 45 dozens

. Profit required = 20% on 135 = 27

Selling price should be 135+27 = 162 Selling price per dozen = 162/45 = 3.6

Answer 2

Answer:

Question:-

Harish purchased 50 dozen bananas for Rs 135. Five dozen bananas could not be sold because they were rotten. At what price should Harish sell the remaining bananas to make a profit of 20%?

Solution:-

To solve this question, we use unitary method.

1 dozen = 12

50 dozens = 600

Price of 600 bananas = 135

Price of 1 banana = 135/600

= 0.225

Rotten bananas = 5 dozens

= 60

Bananas left = 600 - 60

= 540

Price of 540 bananas = 0.225 × 540

= 121.5

But Harish wants to sell the bananas at a profit of 20%

20/100 × 135

= 1/5 × 135

= 27

135 + 27

= 162

SP per dozen = 162/45 [45 dozens left]

= 3.6

Harish should sell the bananas at Rs 162 to make a profit of 20%
