The shopkeeper had bought 200 articles from the wholesaler.Find the total price which was marked by the wholesaler if the shopkeeper sells each unit of article A, B and D at Rs 90, Rs 100 and Rs 60 and article C unit at 160 Rs each. Profit% made on each unit of A and C were in ratio of 5:6​

Answer 1

100

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each article = $ 1

∴ Total C.P. = Rs 200

Total S.P. =

60 × 120

+

140 × 110

100 100

Total S.P. = 72 + 154 = Rs 226

Gain = Total S.P. - Total C.P. = 226 – 200 = Rs 26

When gain = Rs 26 , C.P. = Rs 1

When gain = Rs 2600, C.P. = Rs 100
