Answer 1

Answer:

we know that,

1 dozen = 12

Now, 5 dozens of apples=5x12= 60 apples

He purchased 5 dozens of apples for = ₹450

He spent on transportation = ₹35

So total Money he spent= ₹485

He suffered loss of = ₹18

After amount at which he sell those apples after loss = ₹(485-18) = ₹467

Now, he sell each dozen of apple for = amount at which he sold 5 dozens of apples/ Total Number of Apples

= 467/60

= ₹ 7.78 (Approx.)

OR

= ₹ 8 ( Round off)
