Question

a fruiterer bought 144 pineapples at sh.100 for every 6 pineapples. she sold some of them at sh.72 for every 3 and the rest at sh.60 for every 2. if she made a 65% profit , calculate the number of pineapples she sold at sh.72 for every three.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

brought price= 144÷6 ×100=2400

sale price=if100% =2400

165 ×2400÷100=3960

let ,the no. of pine apple=x

144-x

{x/3×72}+{144-x÷2 ×60}_3960

24x +4320 - 30x=3960

-6x=3960-4320

-6x/-6 = -360/-6

x=60
