Question

A shopkeeper bought 6 tonnes of wheat at Rs. 1.80 per kg and sold 4.7 tonnes out of it at rate of Rs. 2 per kg.
How much profit will he get if he sells the remaining quantity at Rs. 2.50 per kg?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price of 30 kg of wheat

= 30×45

= Rs.1350

Total SP for an overall profit of

25% = 1350×125100 = Rs.1687.5

SP of 12 kg (30×40100) of wheat

= 12×50 = Rs.600

Expected SP of 18kg of remaining wheat = 1687.5 - 600 = Rs.1087.5

Required selling price per kg

= 1087.518 = Rs.60
