Answer 1

Answer:

rs. 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

hello ther !

this answer can be only solved under the circumstances of having a pre -acquired knowledge of profit and loss.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let C.P. per kg be Rs. x then,

x - 10% of x = 5.40

x - x/10  = 5.4

9x = 54

⇒ x = 6

∴ Required S.P. = Rs. [6 + 20% of 6]

                             =  6  +  2/10   *   6

                              = 6 +  6/5

                             = (30 + 6) / 5

                              = 36/5

                            = rs. 7.2
