Answer 1

Answer:

Appropriate Question :-

A fruitseller earns 20% profit when he sell 2 dozen apples for 158.40. At what price had he bought each apple?

\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Solution−

Given that,

Selling Price of 2 dozen apples = 158.40

It means

Selling Price of 24 apples = 158.40

So,

Selling Price of 1 apple = 158.40 ÷ 24 = 6.60

Now, further given that

Profit % = 20 %

We know,

\begin{gathered}\boxed{\rm{ \:Cost \: Price \: = \: \frac{Selling \: Price \: \times \: 100}{100 + Profit \: \%} \: \: }} \\ \end{gathered}

CostPrice=

100+Profit%

SellingPrice×100

So, on substituting the values, we get

\begin{gathered}\rm \: Cost \: Price \: = \dfrac{6.60 \times 100}{100 + 20} \\ \end{gathered}

CostPrice=

100+20

6.60×100

\begin{gathered}\rm \: Cost \: Price \: = \dfrac{660}{120} \\ \end{gathered}

CostPrice=

120

660

\begin{gathered}\rm \: Cost \: Price \: =5.5\\ \end{gathered}

CostPrice=5.5

Hence,

\begin{gathered}\rm\implies \:Cost \: Price \: of \: 1 \: apple \: = \: 5.5 \\ \end{gathered}

⟹CostPriceof1apple=5.5
