Q19. A cloth merchant bought 40 metres cloth at Rs 2.5 per meter. At what rate should he sell it to gain Rs. 600? a) Rs. 3/meter b) Rs. 2/meter c) Rs. 4/meter d) Rs. 5/meter​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 rupees per meter

Step-by-step explanation:

purchase cost for merchant = 40 * 2.5 = 100 rupees

for gaining of 600 the cost of sell should be 600

and let's assume that the cost of cloth x rupees per meter

so

600 = 40 * x

x = 600/40

x = 15 rupees per meter
