Question

Toshiba bought 100 hens for Rs 8000 and sold 20 of these at a gain of 5%. At what gain percent she must sell the remaining hens so as to gain 20% on the whole?

Answer 1

Answer:

Toshiba require 23.75% gain on the remaining hens (80hens).

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Given, Total hens = 100

Remaining hens = 100-20 = 80 hens

Toshiba bought 100 hens for = Rs 8000

1 hen cost is = 8000/100 = Rs 80

20hens cost = 20 × 80 = Rs 1600

Given, Gain = 5%

SP = 105/100 × 1600

= Rs 1680

CP for 80 hens = 80 × 80 = Rs 6400

SP of 80 hens = Rs (1600 + 6400-80) = Rs 7920

Gain on 80 hens = SP of 80 hens – CP of 80 hens

= 7920 – 6400

= Rs 1520

Gain % = (gain/cost price) × 100

Gain% on 80 hens = (1520/6400) × 100

Gain% on 80 hens = (1520/6400) × 100= 23.75%

∴ Toshiba require 23.75% gain on the remaining hens (80hens).
