Question

a fruit-seller bought 75kg mangoes at 30rs per kg.he sold one third mangoes at a loss of 5%.at what rate should he sell the remaining so that his overall gain is10%.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 35.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost price = Rs. (75×30) = Rs. 2250

Selling price at overall gain of 10% = Rs. (110×2250)/100 = Rs. 2475

Cost price of one-third of mangoes = (75/3)×30 = Rs. (25×30) = Rs. 750

At 5% loss selling price of one-third of mangoes= Rs. (95/100)× 750 = Rs. 712.50

So, the fruit-seller needs to sell the remaining 50kg mangoes at= Rs. (2475-712.5)/50 per kg

= Rs. 1762.50/50 per kg

= Rs. 35.25 per kg

Hence, the selling price remaining 50 kg mangoes = Rs. 35.25 per kg.
