Question

A shopkeeper sold 20 mobile sets of same brand for Rs 3,00,0000 at the same rate in a week. (a)What is the selling price of each mobile set? b, If he bought each mobile set for Rs 12,500, find his profit or loss percent. c, If each mobile set is 12 cm long, 6 cm broad and 1 cm thick, find the ratio of it length to the breadth.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) To find the selling price of each mobile set, we need to divide the total amount sold by the number of mobile sets sold:

Selling price of each mobile set = Total amount sold / Number of mobile sets sold

Selling price of each mobile set = Rs 3,00,000 / 20

Selling price of each mobile set = Rs 15,000

Therefore, the selling price of each mobile set is Rs 15,000.

b) The cost price of each mobile set is Rs 12,500.

Profit or loss percent = [(Selling price - Cost price) / Cost price] x 100

Profit or loss percent = [(15,000 - 12,500) / 12,500] x 100

Profit or loss percent = 20%

Therefore, the shopkeeper has made a profit of 20%.

c) The ratio of the length to the breadth of the mobile set is:

Length : Breadth = 12 cm : 6 cm

Simplifying the ratio by dividing both sides by 6:

Length : Breadth = 2 : 1

Therefore, the ratio of the length to the breadth of the mobile set is 2 : 1.

Answer 2

Answer: 2:1

Explanation:

a) The total selling price of 20 mobile sets is Rs. 3,00,000. Therefore, the selling price of each mobile set is:

Selling price of each mobile set = Total selling price ÷ Number of mobile sets sold

= 3,00,000 ÷ 20

= Rs. 15,000

Therefore, the selling price of each mobile set is Rs. 15,000.

b) The cost of each mobile set is given as Rs. 12,500. The total cost of 20 mobile sets is:

Total cost = Cost of each mobile set × Number of mobile sets sold

= 12,500 × 20

= Rs. 2,50,000

The profit made by the shopkeeper is the difference between the selling price and the cost price of the mobile sets:

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

= 3,00,000 - 2,50,000

= Rs. 50,000

Therefore, the profit made by the shopkeeper is Rs. 50,000.

The profit percent is given by:

Profit percent = (Profit ÷ Cost price) × 100

= (50,000 ÷ 2,50,000) × 100

= 20%

Therefore, the shopkeeper made a profit of 20%.

c) The ratio of the length to the breadth of each mobile set is:

Length:breadth = 12:6

= 2:1

Therefore, the ratio of the length to the breadth of each mobile set is 2:1.
