1200 coconuts were bought for Rs. 3,600; 1/4th of the coconuts were sold at 10% profit. If there should be 15% gain on the whole, at what gain % should the remaining coconut be sold​

Answer 1

Answer:

he bought 1000 coconut in 8500

so, price of one 8500/1000= 8.5

but 50 coconuts are spoiled

that's for 1000-50=950

now the price of 950 coconuts for 12 each.

950*12=11400

so the profit % is 11400-8500=2900

2900/8500*100=34.11% that is the answer .
