Question

solve

Answer 1

Cost price of 500m wire= 500*0.75=Rs375
Cost price of 300m wire= 300*0.75=Rs225
Cost price of 200m wire= 200*0.75=Rs150
as 60% sold at 8% profit the selling price of 300m wire=(225*1.08)=Rs243
as given total 500m desired to be sold at 12% profit then SP of 500m=(375*1.2)=Rs450
So 450=243+150*x
where x is the required profit %age
hence207=150x
x=1.38
hence remaining 40% wire must be sold at 38% profit

Answer 2

@heybhai
how u write
300m , 200m
and
there should be 1.12 instead of 1.2
how this came
hence remaining 40% wire must be sold at 38% profit
plse tell me

Answer 3

sorry i thought it was 20% profit
make subsequent change and get right answer.
my method is alright.just plug in right values.

Answer 4

i didnt get u plse can u explain a little bit

Answer 5

k let me solve again.wait a while

Answer 6

@heybhai
plse

Answer 7

Cost price of 500m wire= 500*0.75=Rs375
Cost price of 300m wire= 300*0.75=Rs225
Cost price of 200m wire= 200*0.75=Rs150

as 60%i.e. 300m sold at 8% profit the selling price of 300m wire=(225*1.08)=Rs243
as given total 500m desired to be sold at 12% profit then SP of 500m=(375*1.12)=Rs420 So 420=243+150*x where x is the required profit %age hence177=150x
therefore x=1.18

hence remaining 40% wire i.e. 200 m must be sold at 18% profit so that overall profit of 500m wire is 12%

Answer 8

how 40% came

Answer 9

as given 60% sold at 8%
remaining is 40% as total of anything is 100%

Answer 10

okay

thank u
