Question

Lemons are bought at the rate of 3 for Rs. 4. At what rate must they be sold to gain 20%?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of 3 lemon =Rs 4

cost price of 1 lemon = Rs 4/3

Profit % = 20%

S.P = 4/3*120/100 = 4*6/3*5 = 8/5= 1.6

S.P of 1 lemon = 1.6

S.P of 5 lemon = 1.6*5= 8 Rs.

the selling price of 5 lemon =1.6×5=8.0

so for 5 lemons the cost is ₹8
