Question

a fruit seller bought 75 kilogram mangoes at 30 rupees per kilogram he sold one for mangoes at a loss of 5% at what rate should be he sell the remaining so that his overall gain is 10%

Answer 1

1 kg sold for 5% loss
so, s.p = 5/100×30
= Rs. 1.50
Overall Profit needed = 10%
so, cp for 75 kg mangoes = 75 × 30 = Rs. 2250
Profit = 10/100 × 2250 = Rs. 225
Therefore, S.P = 2250+225 = Rs. 2475
Remaining Mangoes = 74
Therefore, Rate on which the Mangoes must be sold = 2475/74
= Rs. 33.45 [ANS]
