Rs.280 on transport, 40 paise per ream on duty and Rs.72 as coolie charges. What should be the
selling price per ream to get a profit of 8%?
1) Rs.86
2) Rs.120
4) Rs.132.50
3) Rs.90

Answer 1

Answer:

Total investment = Rs. (120 * 80 + 280 + (40/100) * 120 + 72).

= Rs. (9600 + 280+48 + 72) = Rs, 10000.

Sell price of 120 reams = 108% of Rs. 10000 = Rs. 10800.

Sell Price per ream = Rs. [10800/120] = Rs. 90.
