Question

8. Wamiq purchased 50 dozen oranges for Rs. 450.
Four dozen oranges could not be sold because
they were rotten. At what price per dozen should he sell the remaining oranges so that he makes a profit of 18% ​

Answer 1

$\huge \bold{Answer:}$

C.P of oranges= Rs.450

Required Profit= 18%

$\therefore \: \bold{S.P= \frac{450 \times 118}{100} }$

$= \bold{Rs.531}$

Number of good oranges= (50×12-4×12)

= 600-48

= 552

$\:=> \bold{S.P \: of \: 552 \: oranges = rs.531}$

$=> \bold{S.P \: of \: 12 \: oranges= \frac{531}{552} \times 12 }$

$= \bold{RS.11.54}$

Therefore, The remaining oranges should be sold at Rs.11.54 per dozen to make a profit of 18%.
