8. a manufacturer estimates that on inspection 12% of the articles will be rejected. He accepts an order to supply 22000 articles at Rs 7.50 each. Calculate the least no of articles he must manufacture to ensure the completion of the order. He estimates the profit on his outlay including the manufacture of rejected articles to be 20%. find the cost of manufacturing of each articles.

1) A transistor is sold  = 350 Rs.

so sales tax = 1/10 of 350

 = (1/10) * (350)

 =35  Rs.

selling price of the transistor  = 350 - 35

 =  315 Rs.

profit = 1/5 of 315

 = 63 Rs.

so cost price of transistor = selling price of the transistor - profit

 = 315 - 63

 = 252 Rs.

Cost price = 252 Rs.
