Question 1165022: A butcher buys 240 kg of beef of $380. If 20% of the beef is unusable, at approximately what average price per kilogram must he sell the rest of the beef in order to make a profit of 25%? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The amount sold has to be worth $380*1.25=$475
20% of 240 kg is 48 kg, so 192 kg is able to be sold $475/$1.92/kg-
$2.473/kg
$2.47/kg
