The SP of 40 fruits is Rs 690.
Given,
Due to bad weather, a fruit seller had to sell his fruits at a loss of 8%.
He bought the fruits for Rs 225 a dozen.
We have to find the SP of 40.
We have,
A dozen of fruits = Rs 225
12 fruits = Rs 225
Divide both sides by 12
1 fruit = Rs 225 / 12
1 fruit = Rs 18.75
He sold each fruit at a loss of 8%.
8% of Rs 18.75
= 8/100 x 18.75
= Rs 1.5
So,
The selling price of 1 fruit:
= 18.75 - 1.5
= Rs 17.25
The selling price of 40 fruits:
40 x Rs 17.25
= 690
Thus the SP of 40 fruits is Rs 690.
