which the apples were bought.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp of 5 apples = 42.50

SP of 1 apples = \frac{42.50}{5}=8.5

5

42.50

=8.5

SP of 60 apples = 8.5 \times 60 =5108.5×60=510

Profit% = 20%

Cp=\frac{SP \times 100}{100+P\%}=\frac{510 \times 100}{100+20}=425Cp=

100+P%

SP×100

=

100+20

510×100

=425

Hence The cost at which the apples were bought was 425
