Question

a merchant sold 70 kg of pulses at the rate of rupees 45 per kg and
gained the profit of 15% what was the total price of 70 Kgs of
pulses

Dear Student,

Cost of 1 kg pulse = Rs 45
Cost of 70 kg pulses = Rs (45 x 70) = Rs 3150

Profit = 15%
So, the profit on selling 70 kg pulses = 15% of Rs 3150 = (15/100)
x 3150 = Rs 472 5

So, the price at which the pulses were sold after making 15% profit
is Rs (3150 + 472 5) = Rs 3622 5
