Question 54

A man bought apples at the rate of 8 apples for Rs.34 and sold them at the rate of 12 apples for Rs.57. How
many apples should be sold to earn a net profit of Rs.45?

Solution

CP of 1 apple =Rs. 34/8

SP of 1 apple = Rs. 57/12

Profit for 1 apple =Rs.( 57/12-34/8) =Re. 1/2

So to have a profit of Re 0.50 we need 1 apple.

To have a profit of Rs 45, we need 90 apples.
