370 CP=5550
1 CP=5550/370
1 CP=15
1 SP=(100+GAIN/100)*CP=18.75
NO. OF CHOCOLATES=5550/18.75=296

For 25% profit,
Number of chocolates sold for Rs. 5550*1.25 = 370
Number of chocolates sold for Rs. 5550 = 370/1.25 = 296

CP of 1 chocolate = 5550/370 = Rs 15
SP of 1 chocolate = 15*1.25= Rs. 18.75
No. of chocolates sold for Rs. 5550= 5550/18.75= 296

Cost price for each item = 5550/370 = 15
To gain 25%, SP should be 15*125/100 = 18.75.
So, qty to be sold at 5550 = 5550/18.75 = 296.
Option 2.

ARINJOY GHOSH 7 years AGO

the buying price of each = 5550/370=15
the selling price of each with 25% gain = 15+15*25%=18.75
the no. of chocolates to be sold in 5550 rupees=5550/18.75=296

KICK 7 years AGO

cost of 1 chocolate = 5550/370 = 15
now we should sell each chocolate at 125% profit to get an amount of 5550 rupees
so each chocolate at 125 % = 15* 125/100= 18.75
so no of tofees sold = 5550/18.75 = 296

Gain is 25 % .... total price after selling all chocolates will be ... 25% of 5550 + 5550 = 6937.5 rupees
One chocolate price will be ... 6937.5/370 = 18.75 rupees
No of chocolate for 5550 rupees .... 5550/18.75 = 296
Answer is 296.
