Answer 1

ANSWER:-

Given:

A fruit seller bought 75kg apple at 30 per kg.He sold one-third apples at a loss of 5%.

To find:

The rate should he sell the remaining apples so that hes overall gain is 10%.

Explanation:

We have,

A fruit-seller bought 75kg apples at rate of 30 per kg.

∴ Total Cost price of apples= Rs.[75×30]

Total cost price of apples= Rs.2250

He sold one-third apples at a loss of 5%, we get;

$=\:\frac{1}{3} *75kg\\\\=\:\frac{75}{3} kg\\\\=\:25kg$

Now,

Selling price of 25kg apples:

⇒ 95% of Rs.[30×25]

⇒ $\frac{95}{100} *750\\\\=\:Rs.(9.5*75)\\\\=Rs.712.5$

Required profit 10%

Required selling price= Rs.110% of 2250

Required selling price= Rs.(110/100 × 2250)

Required selling price= Rs.(11×225)

Required selling price= Rs.2475.

∴ Selling price of 50kg apples;

⇒ Rs.2475 - Rs.712.50

⇒ Rs.1762.50

Therefore,

Rate of remaining 50 kg apples:

Rate= $\frac{1762.50}{50}$

Rate= Rs.32.25.

Thus,

The fruit-seller should sell the remaining apples Rs.32.25 per kg to get overall gain of 10%.
