Answer 1

The bookseller must sell the books at Rs. 220 to make a profit of 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bookseller sells all his at a profit = 10%

The bookseller bought the books from the distributor i.e., C.P. of the books = Rs. 200

We know the formula for calculating the S.P. is given by,

• S.P. = $\frac{100 + G}{100} * C.P.$

Now, substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

S.P. = $\frac{100 + 10}{100} * 200$

⇒ S.P. = $\frac{110}{100} * 200$

⇒ S.P. = 110 * 2

⇒ S.P. = Rs. 220

Thus, the bookseller must the books for Rs. 220.
