Answer 1

Answer:

he should sell 30 rupee per fruit

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of fruits he bought - 200

price of a single piece he bought - 25

total profit he expect - 1000

total money he paid to wholesaler - 25*200=5000

total money he expects to earn - 5000+1000=6000

price at which he should sell a fruit = 6000/200=30

hence,he should sell a fruit of rupee 30

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out at what price should he sell his fruits, let us find the other things first.

He buys 200 apples from a wholesaler, and 25/fruit.

So, the total amount he has to pay is 25 * 200

= Rs. 5000

Now, Profit is calculated as follows :-

$\rm{Profit = Selling \ Price - Cost \ Price}$

Now, we are already given the desired profit.

So, it's not at all "making castles in the air" case. It is a case of "Being on the silver line of a cloud".

1000 = S.P - 5000

1000+5000 = SP

S.P = Rs. 6000

We got the following resultant as Rs.6000.

Now, we have :-

200 apples = Rs. 6000

1 apple = 6000/ 20

So, he needs to sell an apple at the rate of Rs.30 to get the resultant profit.
