Question

A trader purchases apples at 60 per hundred. he spends 15% on the transportation. what should be the selling price per 100 to earn a profit of 20%?

Answer 1

rate of apples=₹60/100 apples
transportation charge=15%.
or ₹15 of 100 apples
taral cast of 100 apples=60+15=75
now he wants 20% profit
=75×20/100=15
sp=cp+profit=75+15=90

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.82.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of apples = Rs. 60 per hundred

He spends 15% on the transportation.

Transportation cost = $15 \% \times 60$

                               = $9$

So, New Cost price = 60+9 = Rs.69 per hundred

Profit% = 20 %

So, SP = $\frac{CP \times (100+P\%)}{100}$

SP = $\frac{69 \times (100+20)}{100}$

SP = $82.8$

Hence  the selling price per 100 to earn a profit of 20% should be Rs.82.8
