A man 3

A man buys a box of fruits containing 286 fruits out of these 1/2 are apples and the rest are pears. 4/13 of the pears are rotten. He sells the good pears at rupees 4 1/11 each. How much money does he receive on selling the good pears?

Correct answer:

x =  405 Rp

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=286 \\ a=n\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}=286\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}=143 \\ p=n-a=286-143=143 \\ r={\displaystyle \frac{4}{13}}\cdot p={\displaystyle \frac{4}{13}}\cdot 143=44 \\ P=p-r=143-44=99 \\ c=4{\displaystyle \frac{1}{11}}=4+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{11}}={\displaystyle \frac{4\cdot 11+1}{11}}={\displaystyle \frac{45}{11}}\doteq 4.0909\text{ Rp } \\ x=c\cdot P=4.0909\cdot 99=405\text{ Rp} \end{gathered}$$
