A dealer bought 100 articles for rupees 4000. 20 articles broke during transportation. At what rate must he sell the remaining articles to gain 10%?
Given :
A dealer bought 100 articles for rupees 4000.
20 articles broke during transportation.
To find :
We have to find the price he should sell the remaining articles to have a gain of 10%.
Solution :
Cost price of 100 articles $=Rs.\ 4000$
Total number of remaining articles $=100-20=80$
Gain$ \% =10 \%$
This implies,
SP $=$CP$+10 \%$ of CP
$=4000+\frac{10}{100}\times4000$
$=4000+400$
$=4400$
Selling price of 80 articles $=Rs.\ 4400$
Therefore,
Selling price of each article $=\frac{4400}{80}$
$=Rs.\ 55$
