Question

A trader arranges to buy 1,000 mangoes at ₹1
each and agrees to pay an additional sum of
₹200 for their delivery. Knowing that 10%
mangoes will be spoiled, he decides on a selling
price of 32 each for the remaining. However,
during delivery, 20% mangoes are spoiled. What
should be the percentage increase in selling price
to obtain the same total profit?
(a) 20%
(b) 25%
(c) 12.5%
(d) 10%​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of 1 mango = Re 1.

So CP of 80 mangoes = Rs 80.

Number of mangoes which became rotten = 10.

Number of mangoes available for sale = 70.

SP of 1 mango = Rs 1.50.

SP of 70 mangoes = 1.50 x 70 = Rs 105.

Since SP > CP there is profit.

Profit = SP - CP = 105 - 80 = Rs 25

(b) 25% is the answer ... :)

= CP of one mango = ₹ 1

= So, CP of 80 mangoes = ₹80

= Number of mangoes which became rotten=10

= Number of mangoes available for sale= 70

= SP of 1 mango = ₹1.150

= SP of 70 mangoes = 1.50×70= ₹105

= Since SP>CP there is a profit

= Profit = SP - CP= 105 -80 = ₹25

= (b) 25% is the answer...
