Question

A shopkeeper bought 50 shirts for 200 rupees each. if he sold 30 shirts for 230 rupees. At what price per remaining shirts to gain 1000.​

Answer 1

answer: 2500rs per shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

cp of 50 shirts= CP of 1 shirt × no. of shirts

= 200×50

=10,000rs

he sold 30 shirts each for 230 rs.

CP of 30 shirts= CP of 1 shirt × no. of shirts =200×30

=6,000rs

SP of 30 shirts= CP of 1 shirt × no. of shirts

=230 × 30

=6900rs

Now,

CP of 20 remaining shirts= CP of 50 shirts - CP of 30 shirts

=10,000 - 6,000

=4,000rs

SP of 20 shirts= Profit + CP

=1,000+4,000

=5,000rs

SP of 1 shirt= SP of 20 shirts/ No. of shirts

= 5000 / 20

=2,500rs
