Question

The manufacturing cost of $10$ articles is $Rs.150$. Tax on each article is $6\%$ the manufacturing cost. Transportation cost comes to $Re.1$ per particle. By what per cent is the total cost more than the manufacturing cost?

Answer 1

Manufacturing cost of one article =Rs $150$

Total cost of one article=$150+\frac{6}{100}\times 150+1$

$=150+\frac{900}{100}+1$

$=150+10$

$=160$

Entra cost$=60 - 150 = 10$

More percentage=$\frac{10}{150}\times 100$

$=\frac{100}{15}$

$=6\frac{2}{3}\%$
