Given:
Carla bought oranges at rs 60 per dozen ten percent were rotten.
To Find:
At what rate should she sell the remaining oranges to get a profit of 10 percent
Solution:
Let's consider she buys x dozen oranges.
The cost price of one orange = 60/12 = 5,
10% of 12 = 10/100 × 12 = 1.2
So rotten oranges be 1.2 dozen and remaining oranges be 10.8
profit % = profit / cost price
= (S.P. - C.P) × 100/C.P.
10 = ( 10.8x - 60) × 100 / 60
600 = 1080x - 6000
1080x = 6600
x = 6600/1080
x = 1100/180
x = 6.11
Hence, she should sell oranges at 6.11 rupees per orange.
