A man buys a box of fruits containing 286 fruits .Out of these ½ of the
fruits are apples and the rest are pears. 4/13 of the pears are rotten. He sells
the good pears at ₹ 4 1/11 each. How much money does he receive on selling
the good pears?
Answers
Answer:
Total fruit is 286.
No. of apples = 286/2 = 143
No. of pears = 286-143 = 143
No. of rotten pears = 143×(4/13) = 44
No. of good pears = 143-44 = 99
Cost of a good pear is ₹ 4 1/11 i.e 45/11
Money received by selling good pears is 45/11 × 99 = ₹405.
Given:
The fruits in the box are 286 fruits.
Cost of selling one good pear = Rs.
To find:
To calculate total money received by man after selling good pears.
Solution:
The total number of fruits is 286.
Total number of apples = ½ of 286 fruits
= ½ × 286 = 143
Total number of pears = 286 – 143 = 143
Total number of rotten pears = (4/13) × 143 = 44
Total number of good pears = 143 – 44 = 99
Cost of selling one good pear = Rs.
= Rs. 45/11
Total cost of selling 99 good pears = 99 × (45/11)
= 9 × 45 = Rs. 405
The total money received by the man after selling good pears is Rs. 405.
