outlay​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

10 rupees per person payed rupees

Answer 2

He must sell the four seaters at 270 rupees per rickshaw.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total rickshaw = 30,

Out of which, four seaters = 8,

So, two seaters = 30 - 8 = 22,

Consider x be the selling price of each four seaters rickshaw,

If two seaters sold at 3/4th of this price,

The price of each two seater = $\frac{3}{4}x$

Thus, total selling price = $8\times x + \frac{3}{4}x\times 22$

$=8x +\frac{66x}{4}$

Now, there is a profit of 40%,

Total cost price = 4725,

That is, total selling price = 140% of cost price

$=\frac{140}{100}\times 4725$

$=\frac{7}{5}\times 4725$

$=7\times 945$

=6615 rupees,

$\implies 8x +\frac{66x}{4} = 6615$

$\frac{32x+66x}{4}=6615$

$98x = 6615\times 4$

$98x = 26460$

$\implies x =\frac{26460}{98}=270$

Hence, he must sell the four seaters at 270 rupees per rickshaw.
