Question

a fruit seller bought 20 kg unripen mangoes at rupees 40 per kg in summer season 2 kg mangoes were found ripen at what rate per kg should he sell the unripen mangoes to gain 12.5% profit​

Answer 1

50 Rs/kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Seller Bought = 20kg  x 40rs = 800

If sold at 12.5% = 12.5% of 800 = 100

                         = 800+100 = 900

2kg ripen       = 20 - 2 = 18kg x 40rs =  720

If sold at 25% =  25% of 720 = 180

                      = 720 + 180 = 900

So per Kg Should be Sold at 25% to get the similar Profit after 2kg Ripen Mangoes.

25% of 40rs =  10 rs = 40 + 10 = 50

So if per kg is sold at 50 rs = 50 x 18 = 900 Rs  Answer
