Question

a crockery dealer order for 50 piece of China tea set for 18000 when the good arrived he found that 2 tea set was damaged. At what price per set should he sell remaining tea set to earn a total profit or 1200?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

he bought 50 tea set for 18000

therefore 1 tea set costs 360

on arrival 2 tea set were damaged

50-2 = 48

now he has 48 tea sets that are in good condition

he is expecting a profit of 1200 ie 18000+1200=19200

so he should sell those 48 tea sets in a way to obtain the amount of 19200

19200/48 will give the cost at which a single tea set should be sold in order to obtain the profit of 1200

ie he should sell each piece at a cost of 400
