Question

A shopkeeper buys
some apples, but 6
of them get spoiled
during
transportation. If he
collects 2360 by
selling the remaining
apples for 215 each,
and there was no
profit or loss, for how
much (in) did he
buy one apple?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 16.97

Step-by-step explanation:

No profit, No loss means : CP = SP (Cost Price = Selling Price)

Let us say he bought x at apples.

He sold x - 6 apples at cost of Rs. 215.

Now,

(x-6)*215 = 2360

(x-6) = 2360/215

x-6 = 10.97

x = 16.97

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

No profit, No loss means : CP = SP (Cost Price = Selling Price)

Let us say he bought x at apples.

He sold x - 6 apples at cost of Rs. 215.

Now,

(x-6)*215 = 2360

(x-6) = 2360/215

x-6 = 10.97

x = 16.97
