Question 82

A trader buys 800 kgs of tomatoes for Rs 7200. 10% tomatoes are damaged in transportaion. At what rate (Rs/Kg) should he sell the rest to earn 30% profit?

Solution

Cost price of 800 kgs of tomatoes = Rs. 7200

Tomatoes left = $$\frac{(100-10)}{100}\times800=720$$ kg

Thus, cost price of 1 kg tomato = $$\frac{7200}{720}=Rs.$$ $$10$$

Profit % = 30%

=> Selling price of 1 kg tomato = $$\frac{130}{100}\times10=Rs.$$ $$13$$

=> Ans - (B)
