Question

An ice cream seller buys 240 cups ice cream at the rate of rs 6 per cup. Due to bad weather. 40 cups get spoiled. At what Price per cup should he sell the remaining cups in order to gain 25%​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 rs per cup..

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of cups bought by ice cream seller @ rs 6 = 240.

Cost priceof 240 cups = 240×6 = 1440

The total price at which it should be sold to gain 25% = 25% of 1440 + 1440 = 360 + 1440 = 1800.

But, as there was loss of 40 cups. So, the total number of remaining cups = 240-40 = 200.

So, the rate at which it should be sold = 1800÷200 = 9.

So, he should sell the remaining cups to gain 25% = RS.9 . SOLVED
