Answer 1

$2500 \div 37$

Answer 2

Answer:

The banana should be sold at ₹8 per dozen to get a profit of 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of banana purchased by vendor = 40 dozen = 40×12 = 480

Cost Price (CP) of banana = ₹250

Number of bananas rotten and could not be sold = 30

Profit required = 20%

Selling Price (SP) of banana = 250 × 120/100 = ₹300

Total number of good bananas left = 480 - 30 = 450

So, the selling price (SP) of 450 bananas = ₹300

Selling Price (SP) of 12 bananas  = 300×12/450 = ₹8

Hence, The banana should be sold at ₹8 per dozen to get a profit of 20%.
