Answer 2

Solution:-

shopkeeper bought 200 kg at rate 40 rs per kg

so cost Price = 40 × 200 = Rs 8000

overall Profit = 12%

12% profit = (12/100) × 8000 = Rs 960

total Selling Price = 8000 + 960 = Rs 8960

80 kg sold at 15% loss

15 % loss per kg = (15/100) × 40 = Rs 6 per kg

selling Price per kg = 40 - 6 = Rs 34 / kg

selling price of 80 kg = 80 × 34 = Rs  2720

remaining = 200 - 80 = 120 kg

amount at which to be sold = 8960 - 2720 =  Rs 6240

per kg selling price = 6240/120 = Rs 52 / kg

Rs 52 per kg must he sell the remaining pomegranates in order to get an overall profit of 12%
