SOLUTION

GIVEN

  • Ankush bought (x+2) apples at the rate of Rs. 12 each.

  • One apple got rotten during transportation and he sold all the remaining apples for Rs. 300.

  • The percentage profit made by Ankush in the whole transaction is 25%

TO DETERMINE

The number of apples sold by Ankush

EVALUATION

Here it is given that Ankush bought (x+2) apples at the rate of Rs. 12 each.

So total cost price = Rs 12( x + 2 )

Now One apple got rotten during transportation

So number of apples sold = x + 2 - 1 = x + 1

Total selling price = Rs 300

Profit percentage = 25%

So by the given condition

\displaystyle \sf{  12(x + 2) \times  \frac{125}{100}  = 300}

\displaystyle \sf{ \implies 15(x + 2) = 300}

\displaystyle \sf{ \implies(x + 2) = 20}

\displaystyle \sf{ \implies x = 18}

Hence the number of apples sold by Ankush

= 18 + 1

= 19
