A VENDER PURCHASED 50 DOZEN BANANAS FOR RS600.
5 DOZEN BANANAS COLD NOT BE SOLD BECASE THEY GOT ROTTEN .AT WHAT PRICE PER DOZEN SHOLD THE VENDR SELL THE REMAINING BANANAS SO THAT HE MAKE AN OVER ALL PROFIT OF 20%

shubhamsrg · Answer

Profit = 20% 
i.e. he has to sell those 45 dozens for total of 600+ (20% of 600) = 720

anonymous · Answer

cost price of 50 doz bananas = 600 rs
profit = 20%
Total sale price = 120% of 600 = 600 * (120/100) = 720 rs
Quantity available for sale = 50 - 5 = 45 doz
sale price of banana = Total sale price / quantity = (720/45) = 16 rs per dozen
So he should sell remaining 45 dozen good bananas at a price of Rs 16 / dozen to make a profit of 20%
