Total cost of all sheeps= 60×120=7200 desired sp = cp+ desired profit =7200+800=8000 sp of 40 sheep=40×150=6000 so the merchant has to sell the remaining 10 sheep for total amount of 8000-6000=2000 so cost of 10 sheeps= 2000 cost of 1 sheep=2000/10=200 thus,sp of each sheep should be 200 per sheep

desired sp = cp+ desired profit
=7200+800=8000
sp of 40 sheep=40×150=6000
so the merchant has to sell the remaining 10 sheep for total amount of 8000-6000=2000
so cost of 10 sheeps= 2000
cost of 1 sheep=2000/10=200
thus,sp of each sheep should be 200 per sheep
