Solution

Cost price of $1$ cooker $= R s . 700$
$∴$ Cost price of $80$ cookers $= 80 \times 700 = R s . 56000$
Money spent on transport $= R s . 1280$
Total cost price $=$ cost of $80$ cookers $+$ money spent on transport
$= 56000 + 1280$
$= R s . 57280$
Kusumtai wants a profit of $R s . 18000.$
$∴$ Selling price of $80$ cookers $=$ Profit $+$ Total cost price
$= 18000 + 57280$
$= R s . 75280$
$∴$ Selling price of $1$ cooker $= 75280 \div 80 = R s . 941$

Hence, Kusumtai should sell every cooker for $R s . 941.$
