  1. A trader bought 10 kg of apples for $ 405 out of which 1 kg of apples were found to be rotten. If he wishes to make a profit of 10%, at what rate should he sell the remaining apples per kg?
    1. $ 45
    2. $ 49.50
    3. $ 50
    4. $ 51

If 1 kg of apples were found to be rotten.
Remaining apples = 10 – 1 = 9 kg
Therefore,

the remaining apples (per kg) cost =
445.50
= $ 49.50
