Answers
8 dozen apple= 20x8=160
10% profit on 8 dozen apple = 160x10%=172
Left over apple = (12x8)-16= 80
Cost per apple = 172/80=2.15
Answer:
2 Rupees 20 Paise
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of apples = 8 × 12
= 96
Cost of 8 dozen (96) apples = 20 × 8
= rupees 160 Cost of each apple = 160 / 96
= rupees 5 / 3 ( leave it
as 5 / 3)
Rotten apples = 16
Apple left = 96 - 16
= 80
Profit = 10% of 160 rupees
= 10 / 100 × 160
= rupees 16
Amount = 160 + 16
= rupees 176
Rate each of 80 apples should be sold
= 176 / 80
= 2 rupees 20 paise
Therefore, Shopkeeper should sell the apples at a rate of 2 rupees 20 paise each for a profit of 10%.
