Question #9bd0f

Answer 1

Each apple would have to be sold at `Rs.10.33` for the vendor to make his desired profit.

Explanation:

We first calculate his total expense on the apples, the sum of the cost of the apples and what he spent on transport.

`4800+400=5200`

If he wants a profit of `Rs.1,000` on the apples, he would need to sell all the `600` apples for:

`5200+1000=6200`

Since there are `600` apples to be sold, each apple would need to be sold at:

`6200/600=(62cancel00)/(6cancel00)=62/6=10.33`

Each apple would have to be sold at `Rs.10.33` for the vendor to make his desired profit.
