Question

Harish purchased 50 dozen bananas for 135. Five dozen bananas could not be
sold, because they were rotten. At what price per dozen should Harish sell the
remaining bananas so that he could make a profit of 20% ?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Harish bought 50 dozen at 135

Harish cannot sell 5 dozen but wants to have profit of 20%

so Harish can sell 45 dozen

now , 20 % of 135 = 162

so Harish must sell 45 dozen at 162 for 20% profit

for 1 dozen = 162 /45 = 3.6

so Harish must sell 1 dozen at 3.6 for having 20 % profit
