Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Number of apples = 400
Cost price per hundred apples = ₹1200
Profit = ₹800
Calculation:
Cost price (CP) for 400 apples = (1200 / 100) × 400 = ₹4800
Selling price (SP) = Cost price + Profit = ₹4800 + ₹800 = ₹5600
Number of dozens in 400 apples = 400 / 12 = 33.33 dozens
Selling price per dozen = Total selling price / Number of dozens
Selling price per dozen = ₹5600 / 33.33 ≈ ₹168
Therefore, the selling price per dozen of apples is ₹168.
