A fruit-seller bought 25 kg apples at 8 per kg and 30 kg apples at 10 per kg. At what rate per kg should he
sell them to gain 21%.
Answers
Fruit Seller bought 25 kgs apples at 8 Rs/kg i.e. , for 25 * 8 = 200 Rs.
and bought 30 kg apples at 10 Rs/kg i.e., for 30*10 = 300 Rs.
So, the Cost Price of 55 kg apples (CP) = (200+300) Rs = 500 Rs.
Profit percent to be made after selling fruits = 21%
Profit = (Profit% / 100) * CP
Profit = (21 / 100 )* 500 = Rs. 105
Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit = (500 + 105) Rs.
Selling Price of 55 kg apples (SP) = Rs. 605
So, Selling price of 1 kg apple = Rs. ( 605/55) = Rs 11
Therefore, the fruit seller should sell the fruits at the rate of 11Rs per Kg to gain profit of 21%.
Answer:
21 Precent
Step-by-step explanation:
S.P.=$230
P =15 percent
profit=15/100×230
= 34.5
C.P. = 230-34.5
= 195.5
Apple 25 Kg = Rs 8/Kg
25 = 25×8
= 200
Total C.P = 200+300
= 500
Gain = 21 per cent
