ANSWER:-
Given:
A fruit seller bought 75kg apples at Rs.30 per kgbhe sold one-third apples at a loss of 5%.
To find:
What price should he sell the remaining so that his overall gain is 10%.
Solution:
Quantity of apples bought by the fruit seller= 75 kg.
Rate of apples = Rs.30 per kg
Therefore,
Total CP of apples= Rs.30×75
=) Rs.2250
Quantity of apples sold at a loss of 5%
Therefore,
SP of 25kg apples = Rs.95% of 30×25
Required gain= 10%,
Therefore,
SP = Rs. 110% of 2250
=) Rs.110/100 × 2250
=) Rs. 2475
Therefore,
SP of remaining 50kg apples.
=) Rs. 2475 - Rs. 712.50
=) Rs. 1762.50
Now,
Rate of remaining 50kg of apples;
=) 1762.50/50
=) Rs.35.25
Hence,
The fruit seller should sell the remaining apples Rs. 35.25 per kg get overall gain of 10%.
