to gain 50% profit solve for 50 percent of 10
10 x 0.5 = 5
then add this to the original investment
so we need to have a total sale of Rs 15 for all the apples
but we can’t sell 8kg anymore
8kg – 0.5 kg = 7.5 kg ———> we can only sell this much
so 15/7.5 = Rs 2 per kg
Answer: Rs 2 per kg

500 gm rotten so there is 7.5 kg can be sold.
50% profit is (10 + 50%(10)) = 10 + 5 =Rs.15
so 7.5 x = 15 ——> x = 15/7.5 = Rs.2 per Kg
You need to sell what is sellable for Rs. 15.(10 x 1.5) to get to 50% profit. You only have 7.5kg because of the rotten ones (8-.5).
15/7.5 = 2
