Answer 2

Given:

Total number of watches$=6$

cost of 6 watches$=Rs. 3,330$

Amount gained per watch$=Rs. 111$

To find: the selling price of each watch.

Solution:

Find the cost price of one watch.

cost price of 1 watch$\[ = \frac{{3330}}{6}\]$

                                 $\[ = Rs. 555\]$

Find the selling price of each watch.

$\text{Selling price }=\text {Cost Price} +\text {Gain}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Selling Price} =555+111\\\Rightarrow \text{Selling Price} =Rs. 666$

Hence, he sold each watch for $Rs. 666$.
