Mangoes are boughtat a rate of ₹10,000 perton. If one-third of the total mangoes are sold at a loss of 4%, then at what price (per ton) should the remaining mangoes be soldso as to gain 30% on the whole transaction?
Let, the rest mangoes should be sold at $$x$$
so In case of first = $$\dfrac{1}{3}rd$$
selling price = $$\dfrac {1}{3}\times 10000 \times\dfrac {96}{100}$$
$$\Rightarrow \dfrac{9600}{3} $$
$$\Rightarrow 3200 $$
total profit on whole transaction = 30 %
so total selling price = $$10000\times \dfrac{130}{100} $$
$$\Rightarrow 10000\times \dfrac{130}{100}$$
$$\Rightarrow 13000 Ans $$
In case of rest $$\dfrac{2}{3}rd$$ selling price = 13000-3200 = 9800
hence $$\dfrac{2}{3}x = 9800 $$
$$\Rightarrow x = 9800 \times \dfrac{3}{2}$$
$$\Rightarrow x = 14700 Ans $$
