Question

A fruit seller bought bananas at 8.40 per dozen. At what orice per hundred must he sell them so as to earn a profit of 15%?​

Answer 1

Answer:Given that the fruit seller bought 12 bananas for 8.40 rupees and he sells them for 15%profit.

Simply, multiply 8.40 with 12 to get the price of each.

The price of each banana is 0.7 rupees.

He sells each with a 15% profit.

To get the price for which he sells a banana, we shall add (0.7×0.15) to 0.7.

Which is 0.7 + 0.105 = 0.805

0.805 is the price of on banana.

But in the question, it is asked to know the price of 100 bananas.

So. simply multiply 0.805 with 100

0.805×100 = 80.5

∴80.5 is the price of 100 bananas.

Hope this answer helps you.
