t 1000 pencils forsarīsht he remaining pencils so as to gain 15% on the whole transaction?3000 and sold 200 of these at a gain of 9%. At what gain per centau t o 125 mangoes, a man gains an amount equal to the selling price of 5 mangoes. Find the yainsellingper cent

Answer»

C.P of 1000 pencils=Rs.3000C.P of one pencil= 3000/1000 =Rs.3

Manish sold 200 pencils at the gain of 5%C.P of 200 pencils= 3(200) =Rs.600Profit= 5% of CP of 200 pencils= 5*600/100 = Rs.30

S.P of 200 pencils= C.P of 200 pencils + Profit = 600+30 =Rs.630

Manish wants to make a profit of 15% of whole transaction

Profit of whole transaction= 15*3000/100 =Rs.45

Profit to be made for 2nd transaction= Profit of whole transaction - Profit of 1st transaction

= 450-30

= Rs.420

C.P of remaining pencils= 800*3 =Rs.2400

Let 'x' be the profit percentage of 2nd transaction

Profit of 2nd transaction= C.P of remaining pencils * (x/100)

=> 420 = 2400x/100=> 420 = 24x=> x = 420/24=> x = 17.5

Answer is 17.5

Let sp of on mango be rs1

Then sp of 125mangoes = 125 × 1

= rs 125

now he gains sp of 5 mangoes = 5×1

= rs5

so,

cp = sp - gain

cp = 125-5

cp=120rs

Now gain% = gain * 100 / cp

= 5 * 100/120

Gain% = 4.16666

Gain% = 4.167 %
