Question

Five kg of butter was bought by a shopkeeper for 300.
One kg becomes unsaleable. He sells the remaining in such
a way that on the whole he incurs a loss of 10%. At what
price per kg was the butter sold?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The selling price per kg was Rs 67.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of 5 kg of ghee is Rs. 300, overall loss is 10% and 1 kg is unsaleable.

To find the selling price of the ghee per kg.

Cost price of 5 kg Ghee = Rs 300.

Over all loss = 10%

=> Over all loss = 10% of 300

                         =30 Rs

So, selling price = Rs (300-30)

                          = Rs 270

As it is given that he sold only 4kg of ghee so the selling price per kg is given by:

Selling price of  4 kg ghee = Rs 270

Selling price of 1 kg ghee = Rs 270/4

                                           =Rs 67.5
