Question

a fruit seller bought 75 kilogram apples at ₹ 30 per kilogram.he sold one-third apples at a loss of 5% .at what rate should he sell the remaining so that his overall gain is 10%

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

75/3=25 kg of apples were sold at a loss of 5%

The 25 kg apples for bought for:

30=75=(1/3)=750 rupees.

A loss of 5% means they were sold for

=95=750=712.5 rupees.

For the overall game to be gain 10%, the selling price to all 75 of the apples must be

30= 75=1.1=2475

2475-712.5=1762.5 is the price of remaining 2/3

The remaining (2/3) =75=50kg of apples should be sold at a rate of 1762.5/50= 32.25 rupees/kg

Hope you understand this explanation ☺️

Answer 2

The answer is 35.25 Rs

Given:

A fruit seller bought 75 kg apples at ₹ 30 per kg

He sold one-third of apples at 5% loss

To find:

The rate of apples at which he can sell the remaining to get 10% gain over all

Solution:

Given seller bought 75 kg at ₹ 30 per kg

⇒ cost of 75 kg apples = 30 × 75 = 2250 Rs

He sold one-third at 5% loss

one-third of 75 kg = $\frac{75}{3} = 25$

⇒ cost of 25 kg apples = 25 × 30 = 750

and selling price of 15 kg apples = 50× 30 = 1500 Rs

⇒ Selling price of 25 kg with loss 5%  = (100 – Loss%)/100 × Cost Price

⇒ (100-5)/100 × 750  = 95/100(750) = 712.5 Rs

Loss on selling 25 kg apples = 750 - 712.5 = 37.5

If he got 10% over all then profit  =  (gain%)/100 × Cost Price  

= (10)/100 × 2250 = 225 Rs.

Here to get 10% gain overall he must cover 37.5 Rs of loss  

Then the selling price of 50 kg apple must be

= 1500+ 37.5(loss) + 225 (profit) = 1762.5 Rs

Let assume that at rate x the profit overall will 10 %

Then selling price = 50x  

⇒ 50x = 1762.5

⇒ x = 35.25 Rs

If he sell remaining at rate 35.25 Rs. he will get 10% gain overall
