Solution

Cost price of 1 cooker = Rs 700

∴ Cost price of 80 cookers = 80 × 700 = Rs 56000

Money spent on transport = Rs 1280

Total cost price = cost of 80 cookers + money spent on transport

= 56000 + 1280

= Rs 57280

Kusumtai wants a profit of Rs 18000.

∴ Selling price of 80 cookers = Profit + Total cost price

= 18000 + 57280

= Rs 75280

∴ Selling price of 1 cooker = 75280 ÷ 80 = Rs 941

`80")"overline75280"(941"`
   −720     
     0328
     −320     
       0080
        −80  
          00       

Hence, Kusumtai should sell every cooker for Rs 941.
