Question

Ahmed bought a basket of fruits for ₹ 250. At what price should he sell to gain a profit
of 15% ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First to get the percentage of the 40 that are bad.

40/400 x 100 = 10%

so 10% of the 400 oranges are bad, that means the good ones are

100% - 10% = 90%

90% are good.

Answer 2

Answer:

$profit\% = \frac{profit}{cost \: price} \times 100 \\ \\ = 15\% = \frac{profit}{250} \times 100 \\ \\ = profit = \frac{250 \times 15}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{5 \times 15}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{75}{2} \\ \\ = profit = 34.5$

Profit = ₹34.5

Selling price = Cost price +profit

= 34.5+250

= ₹284.5
