Question

A shopkeeper purchased 100 sarees at 750 rupees each. he sold 30 Sarees at 600 rupees each. at what rate should he sell the remaining, sarees so as to gain 10% on the whole?

Answer 1

Answer.

Total sarees purchased=100

Since each saree costed 750 Rs,

So total cost price of all sarees,
CP = 750 × 100

=> CP=75000 Rs.

Since shopkeeper needs to sell all sarees such that gain % should be 10%.

The the overall selling price to gain 10% on whole 100 sarees,
SP = CP + 10%CP
=> SP = 75000 + 7500
=> SP = 82500 Rs

Now shopkeeper already sold 30 sarees at rate of 600 Rs each.

=> Remaining number of sarees = 100-30 = 70

=> Selling price of all 30 sarees = 30×600 Rs

=> Selling price of 30 sarees = 18000 Rs

Since overall selling price of 100 sarees should be Rs. 82500 so that gain % is 10.

=> Selling price of remaining 70 sarees = 82500 - 18000

=> Selling price of 70 sarees = 64500 Rs

=> Selling price of 1 saree = 64500/70

=> Selling price of 1 saree = 921.43 Rs

● So sarees should be sold at the rate of 921.42 Rs each to gain 10% overall.

825-600=225
he has to sell the remaining for 225 rupess
