Answer» $(CP\; = \;\frac{{SP}}{{1\; + \;profit\% }})$ SP = CP(1 + Profit%) Where, CP = cost price SP = Selling Price For DIVYA, CP = 35 × 1.25 = Rs. 43.75, Profit = 15% ∴ SP = 43.75 (1 + 0.15) = 43.75 × 1.15 = Rs. 50.3125 for 35 apples For Meha, CP = Rs. 50.3125 for 35 apples She eats 7 apples. ∴ She has 28 apples now. Profit % = 20% ∴ SP = 50.3125(1 + 0.2) = Rs. 60.375 for 28 apples. ∴ MEHAK sells each banana at a price of Rs. 2.156. |
