Question

400 chickooes were bought at ₹1250 per hundred and were sold at a profit of ₹800. Find the selling price (in ₹) per dozen of chickooes.

• A. 174
• B. 189
• C. 184
• D. 164

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 174

Total cost price

400 chickoos = 4 hundreds

$\text{CP} = 4 \times 1250 = 5000$
Total selling price

Profit = ₹800

$\text{SP} = 5000 + 800 = 5800$
Selling price per chickoo

$\frac{5800}{400} = 14.5$
Selling price per dozen (12 chickoos)

$14.5 \times 12 = 174$
Final Answer:

₹174 per dozen
