Question

Mahesh earned a profit of 20% by selling 60 apples at the rate of ₹42.50 for 5 apples.Then,the total cost,at which the apples were bought is

Answer 1

so cost of one apple = 42.5/5=8.5

cost of 60=510

so=510

let's think cp =100

cp + profit =120

so 120=510

1=510/120

100=510/120*100=450

so cp = 450
