A man bought 500 mangoes and found 1/4 of them rotten .If he sold the rest of mangoes at 3.36 each making 12% profit ,what was the cost price of each mango?

The cost price of each mango was $3

Step-by-step explanation:

The man bought 500 mangoes, but 1/4 of them were rotten. There were 1/4*500 = 125 rotten mangoes, thus the number of mangoes he sold is

500 - 125 = 375 mangoes

Selling them at $3.36 each, he had revenue of

375*3.36=$1,260

That amount includes the 12% profit, that is, it's 112% of the cost price, thus the cost price of all mangoes is

1,260 / 112 * 100 = $1,125

The price of each mango was $1,125 / 375 = $3

The cost price of each mango was $3

an = 22 + (n-1) *6

110 seats

step-by-step explanation:

an=a1+(n-1)(d)

a1 = 22   this is the first item in the sequence

d =6   this is how the sequence goes up

a)   an = 22 + (n-1) *6

b) a12 = 22 + (12-1) *6

    a12 = 22+11*6

  a12 = 22 +88

  a12 = 110
