Question

Rohit bought 24 apples for RS 96. He gave 1/3 of it to his little sister. The same evening a few of his friends came to see him and ate a total of 5 apples. When he woke up the next morning he saw that 2 apples had started decaying The remaining apples, Rohit sold at rs 8 per piece. Find the difference in amounts in which all the apples were bought and final amount obtained after selling them.

Answer 1

total apple =24 of RS96
cost of on apple =96÷24=RS 4
apple his sister have =
$\frac{1}{2 } \times 24 = 12$
no of apples eaten by his friends =5
no of apple rotten = 2
no of apple remain=24-(12+5+2)=5 apples
cost of 5 apples =8×5=40
difference=Rs96-Ts40=Rs56 Ans
