Answer 1

Total CP =4800+400=5200
SP required=5200+1000=6200
SP of each apple=6200/600
=10.33

Answer 2

Answer: He should sell each apple for Rs. 10.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of apples = 600

cost of 600 apples = Rs. 4800

Amount for transportation = Rs. 400

Total cost would be

$4800+400=5200$

Profit = Rs. 1000

As we know that

$Selling\ price=Cost\ price+Profit\\\\Selling\ price=5200+1000\\\\Selling\ price=6200$

So, selling price for 600 apples would be

$\dfrac{6200}{600}=Rs.\ 10.34$

Hence, he should sell each apple for Rs. 10.34.
