Question :-

A merchant bought 1000 electric bulbs at the rate of ₹ 150 each. 50 of them were broken on the way and the remaining he sold at the profit of 5 %. What was the selling Price of each bulb?

Given :-

✦Number of Electric Bulbs = 1000

✦Cost of each Bulb = ₹150

✦Number of Bulbs Broken = 50

✦Remaining bulbs sold at a Profit of = 5 %

To Find :-

✦The Selling Price of each bulb.

Solution :-

Let the Selling Price be 'x'.

According to the question,

Cost Price of 1000 bulbs

$= 1000 \times 150 \\ = 150000$

5% profit on the total cost price

$= \frac{5}{100} \times 150000 \\ = 7500$

Total Selling Price = ₹(150000+7500) = ₹ 157500

Number of bulbs remaining = 950

Therefore,Selling Price of each Bulbs

$= \frac{157500}{950} \\ = 165.79$

Hence, The Selling Price of each bulb = ₹ 165.79.
