Answer:

above is your answer

hope it helps you thanks

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of reams=120×80=9600 rs

spent on transportation =280 rs

paid to octroi=0.40×120=48 rs

to coolie=72 rs

want gain of 8%(9600×8/100=768)

so Selling price will be

(9600+280+48+72+768)

10768/120=89.73 or 90 rs(round figure) per ream.
