Apples should be sold at Rs 60 per kg to gain 12 1/2 %
Step-by-step explanation:
A fruit seller bought 40 kg apple at rupees 16 per kg.
=> Cost Price = 40 * 16 = Rs 640
4 kg apples were rotten
Sellable Apples = 16 - 4 = 12 kg
Let say Selling Price per kg = S Rs
Total Selling Price = 12S Rs
Gain = 12S - 640 Rs
12 1/2 % = 25/2% Gain on Rs 640 = (25/200) * 640 = Rs 80
12S - 640 = 80
=> 12S = 720
=> S = 60
Apples should be sold at Rs 60 per kg to gain 12 1/2 %
