Rajesh bought 80 article for rs 40000. he sold 30 of them at gain of 15 percent at what gain percent must he sell the remaining items so as to gain 35 percent on the whole transaction?
Answers
CP of 80 artcles = 40000
CP of one article= 40000/80 = Rs.500
CP of 30 articles = 500 x 30 = Rs.15000
Profit from 30 articles = 15000 x 15/100 = Rs.2250
Profit from 80 articles with 35% gain = 40000 x 35/100 = Rs.14000
∴Profit should be from remaining 50 articles = 14000 - 2250 = Rs.11750
profit should be from one remaining article = 11750 ÷ 50 = Rs.235
∴ gain percent = 235/500 x 100 = 47%
Answer:
47%
Step-by-step explanation:
CP of 80 artcles = 40000
CP of one article= 40000/80 = Rs.500
CP of 30 articles = 500 x 30 = Rs.15000
Profit from 30 articles = 15000 x 15/100 = Rs.2250
Profit from 80 articles with 35% gain = 40000 x 35/100 = Rs.14000
∴Profit should be from remaining 50 articles = 14000 - 2250 = Rs.11750
profit should be from one remaining article = 11750 ÷ 50 = Rs.235
∴ gain percent = 235/500 x 100 = 47%
