A flower vendor bought 150 flowers for ₹600. 15 flowers withered and became unsellable. At what price per flower should he sell the remaining flowers to earn a profit of 30% on his total cost?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹5.78.
Unsellable flowers = 15
Sellable flowers = 150 - 15 = 135
SP = (130/100) × 600 = 780
Price per sellable flower = 780/135 = 5.78
