Question

sandesh sold 15kg apples for Rs. 2100 and made a profit of 12.5%.At what price per kg should he sell to gain 15%?

Answer 1

apples sold = 15 kg
selling price = ₹2100
cost price = ₹2100-12.5% of ₹2100
=₹2100-₹262.5
=1,837.5
cost price of 1 kg apple = ₹122.5
profit on 1 kg apple = 15% of ₹122.5
selling price of 1 kg apple = ₹122.5+15% of ₹122.5
=₹122.5+18.375
= 140.875

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple use the equation of finding selling price

First count selling price using 15% profit

S.p. = ((100+15%)/100)*C.P

= 1.15*2100

= 2415RS

Selling price of 15kg apple will be 2415rs

So, selling price of 1kg will be 161(2415/15) rs per kg

At 12.5% profit price of one kg was 140rs

At 15% profit price of one kg is 161rs

Therefore sandesh should sell increasing 21rs per kg
