Question 64

Kapila bought 100 frocks at the rate of ₹320 each. Travel expenditure was ₹1000. If she increased the price of frock by ₹1.50 each and labour expenditure was ₹500 and she wants to make a profit of 10%, then what will be the selling price of each frock?

Solution

Kapila bought 100 frocks at the rate of ₹320 each.

Total price of all frocks = $$320\times100$$ = ₹32000

Travel expenditure was ₹1000 and labour expenditure was ₹500.

Total price of all frocks after adding expenditure = ₹32000 + ₹1000 + ₹500

= ₹33500

Now price of each frock = $$\frac{33500}{100}$$ = ₹335

If she increased the price of frock by ₹1.50 each.

Now price of each frock = ₹335 +₹1.50

= ₹336.5

she wants to make a profit of 10%.

selling price of each frock = ₹336.5 of (100+10)%

= ₹336.5 of 110%

= $$336.5\times\frac{110}{100}$$

= $$336.5\times\frac{11}{10}$$

= ₹370.15
