Question

a book seller bought 50 copies of magazine at the rate of Rs180 for four copies.He spent Rs50 on transport.At whatprice would he sell 50 copies to make a profit of 50 percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

So he should sell them at the cost of Rs.3450

Step-by-step explanation:

4 copies for = Rs.180

So, 1 copy for = 180/4 = Rs.45

No. of copies = 50

Therefore CP = 50 x 45 = Rs.2250

Additional cost = 50

Therefore CP = 2250 + 50 = Rs.2300

Profit = SP-CP

Profit% = 50% = Profit/CP x 100

(SP - 2300) / 2300 X 100 = 50

SP - 2300 =  50 x 2300/ 100

SP - 2300 =  1150

SP =  Rs. 3450

So he should sell them at the cost of Rs.3450
