A person buys 800 tablets for RS 30. He sells 200 of them at a loss of 5 per cent. For what should he sell the remainder so as to gain 10 per cent on the whole

$\huge{\mathfrak{\purple{Answer}}}$

800 tablets for 30 Rs

1 tablet for 30/800 = 0.0375 Rs

Then he sells 200 tablets with a loss of 5%

0.0375*.95*200 = 7.125 Rs

Now he wants profit of 10% that makes 33 Rs

So he should sell remaining 600 for 33-7.125 Rs = 25.875 Rs

Cost of each Tablet = 25.875/600 = 0.043125 Rs
