Answer»

₹2550
₹2731.50
₹2500
₹2531.25

Solution :Let the cost PRICEOF each bread packet= ₹ a.
So, marketpriceof each bread = 2.5a.
And sellingprice of each bread packet `=2.5a XX (60)/(100) = 1.5a`
Given , 1.5a - a = 30
a = ₹ 60.
NEW sellingprice `= 2.5a xx (5)/(8) = 1.5625a`
Sellingpriceof onebread packet`= 1.5625 xx 60 = 93.75`
Required profit on selling80 bread packets `= (93.75 - 60 ) xx 75 = ₹ 2531.25`
