Question

a fruit seller bought bananas at rupees 8.40 dozen at what price per hundred must we sell them so as to earn a profit of 15%​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of 12 bananas = 8.40

Cost of 1 banana = 8.40/12 = 0.7

Cost of 100 bananas = 0.7 × 100 = 70

Profit at 15% = 70+(15/100×70) = 70+(1.5×7) = 70+10.5 = 80.5

We should sell them at ₹80.5 to earn 15% profit
