c.p of 30% of articles
= 30% of 40000 = ₹12000
s.p of 30% articles
= 12000 + 15% of 12000
= ₹13800
c.p of remaining articles
= 70% of 40,000
= ₹28,000
required s.p to gain 35% on the whole transaction
= 40,000 + 35% of 40,000
= ₹54,000
remaining s.p to gain 35% on the whole
transaction
= ₹54,000 - ₹13800
= ₹40200(s.p of remaining articles)
gain on remaining articles
= 40,200 - 28,000 = ₹12200
gain%
= 12200 × 100/ 28,000
= 43.5%
