Question

Amar buys 200 boxes of apples at ₹800 per box. There are 60 apples in a box. 10% of the apples are rotten. Find the selling price per apple if he wants to earn 60% profit on the cost price​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total apples = 200×60 = 12,000

Total Cost Price (C.P.) = 800×200 = 1,60,000 Rs.

C.P of 1 Apple = 1,60,000/12,000 = 13.34 Rs.

10% apples = 10/100 × 12,000

= 1,200 apples are rotten.

Sellable apples = 12,000 - 1,200 = 10,800

Selling Price (S.P.) =60% profit on total C.P.

= C.P. + 60% of C.P

= 2,56, 000 Rs.

Therefore,

S.P per apple

= Total S.P / Sellable apples

= 2,56,000 / 10,800

= 23.7 Rs.

Answer: 23.7 Rs.
