Question

A shopkeeper purchased 15 chocolates for ₹97.50. The cost price per piece of chocolate is ______.

• A. ₹6.50
• B. ₹7.50
• C. ₹6.15
• D. ₹7.05

Answer 1

The correct option is A

₹6.50

Cost of 15 chocolates = ₹97.50

$\therefore$ Cost per chocolate:
$=\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of chocolates}}$

$=\frac{97.50}{15}$

$=₹6.50$

Thus, the cost price of each chocolate is ₹6.50.
