Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 425

Step-by-step explanation:

s.p of 5 Apples = 42.50

s. p of 1 apple = 42.50/5 = 8.5

total s.p = 60 × 8.5 =Rs 510

120% = 510

100% = 100 × 510/120 = 425

total cost= Rs 425

Answer 2

The cost at which the apples were bought​ was 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp of 5 apples = 42.50

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

SP of 60 apples = $8.5 \times 60 =510$

Profit% = 20%

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

Hence The cost at which the apples were bought​ was 425
