a dealer purchased 60 items at rs.150 each. he sold one -third of them at loss 6%. at what price each must he sell the remaining article's so as to gain 10% on the whole deal ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 177

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost Price = 60 * 150 = 9000 Rs

One third item = (1/3)*60 = 20

Cost price of 20 Items = 20* 150 = 3000 Rs

6% loss = (6/100)*3000 = 180 Rs

Total Gain = 10 % = (10/100)*9000 = 900 Rs

Gain to be achieved on (60-20) = 40 items   = 900 - (-180) = 1080 Rs

cost Price of 40 items = 40*150 = 6000 Rs

Selling price of 40 items = 6000 + 1080 = 7080 Rs

Selling price of item = 7080/40 = 177 Rs
