A fruit seller buys 712 fruit, of which 3/4 are apples. Of all the apples that he bought, 1/3 were found to be rotten . If he sold all the good apples at Rs. 21/4 each. How much money did he receive on selling all the good apples.
SoluTion
_______________________________
total fruits bought = 712
fraction of apples = 3 / 4
so,
no. of apples = 712 * (3/4)
no. of apples = 534
_______________________________
fraction of apples rotten = 1/3
so,
no. of rotten apples = 534*(1/3)
no. of rotten apples = 178
_______________________________
No. of good apples( for sale) = 534 - 178
no. of good apples (for sale) = 356
_______________________________
Cost of each apple = Rs 21/4
So,
Money received
on selling good apples = 356*(21/4)
Money received after sale = 1869 Rs.
