Solution
It is given that the shopkeeper buys 80 articles for Rs 2,400
Cost of one article = Rs `2400/80` = Rs 30
Profit percent = 16
Profit percent = `"Profit"/"C.P" xx 100`
16 = `"Profit"/"Rs 30" xx 100`
Profit = Rs `(16 xx 30)/10` = Rs . 4.80
Selling price of one article = C.P. + Profit = Rs (30 + 4.80) = Rs 34.80
