Question

Kabir bought 100 articles for rs 3000. He sold 25 of them at a gain of 5 percent must he sell the remaining articles so as to gain 20 percent on whole?

Answer 1

Answer:

sp=₹37.50 each

or total

₹ 2812.50 for 75 articles

Step-by-step explanation:

cp=30 each

To gain 5% sp=31.50

So he sold 25 art's for 25*31.50

= 787.50

To gain 20% on 3000

he has to get total

₹3000+20%=₹3000+₹600

=₹3600

Out of this he has already earned ₹787.50

by selling 25 art's

so remaining 75 art's he has to sell for ₹(3600-787.50)

=₹ 2812.50

ie at ₹(2812.50/75)each

=₹37.50 each
