Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Chocolates = 160;for rs 480;
Suman want to earn 30% profit;
So for earning 30% profit the selling price is = 1.3*480 = Rs. 624;
she gave 25 % of chocolates to rakesh;
so rakesh got 40 chocolate for rs. 120;
Now suman have 120 Chocolates for rs. 480-120 = 360;
She need to earn 624-120 = Rs. 504 with rest 120 chocolates;
Selling price = 504; for getting 30% profit on rest chocolates
Step-by-step explanation:
Total chocolate => 160 for price 480
Cost price of 1 chocolate
=> 480/160
=> Rs. 3
Profit of 160 chocolate :-
=> 30% of 480
=> 30/100 × 480
=> 3 × 48
=> Rs. 144
On giving 25% of chocolate :-
=> 25% of 160
=> 25/100 × 160
=> 1/4 × 160
=> 40
There are:-
=> 160 - 40
=> 120 chocolate
According to the question:-
Selling price of chocolate are:-
=> total profit = 120 ( S.P - C.P )
=> 144 = 120 ( S.P - 3 )
=> S.P - 3 = 144/120
=> S.P - 3 = 12/10
=> S.P - 3 = 1.2
=> S.P = 1.2 + 3
=> S.P = 4.2 (Ans)
=> S.P of 1 chocolate => 4.2
