Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
cp of 60 sheep=60*120=7200
sp of 40 sheep=150*40=6000
10 sheep died so 10 are left
7200-6000=1200
1200+800=selling price of 10 sheep
2000/10=200

Given , cost of each sheep =rs 120.
Total no of sheep =X=60.
Total cost price =120×60 =rs 7200
Now given ,
Selling of each sheep =rs 150
Total no of sheep y1=40.
Total selling price of y1 =150 ×40=rs 6000.
Also given No of remaining sheep =10
Profit =sp -cp
Given profit =rs 800 now find the total selling price
Total selling =profit +c.p
=800+7200 =80
Let the s.p be y3
Then total sp =y1 +y2 +y3
Here y2=0 {sheep died}
8000=6000+0+y3
Y3=8000-6000=rs 2000
Then
Sp of 10 sheep's be rs 2000
Sp of 1 sheep be rs 2000/10 =rs 200.
Answer ,Sp of remain sheep is rs 200.
