Question

1. A tea-stall owner bought 2 dozen fruitcakes at 7 4 each and sold them all earning a profit of 50%. How much-profit did the tea-stall owner make ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :

Each fruit cake = Rs 4

Profit Percentage = 50 %

Finding cakes in two dozen -

1 dozen = 12 cakes

2 dozen = 2 x 12 = 24 cakes

2 dozen = 24 cakes.

Finding Cost Price of 2 dozen cakes -

1 cake = Rs 4

24 cakes = ? Rs

= 4 x 24 = 96.

2 dozen cakes = Rs 96.

Cost price of 2 dozen cakes = Rs 96.

Finding profit -

Profit Percentage = 50 %

96 x 50/100 = 48.

Profit = 48.

Hence : \bold{Profit \: = \: Rs \: 48}Profit=Rs48

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have,

Cost price of one fruit cake = Rs 4

Total number of fruit cake = 2 dozen

Profit percentage = 50%

Now, we find the total number of fruit cakes in two dozen.

As we know that 1 dozen = 12 fruit cakes

So, multiple 2 by 12 to get total number of cakes,

2 dozen = 2×12=24 fruit cakes

⇒ 2 dozen = 24 fruit cakes

Now, we have to find the cost price of these 24 fruit cakes,

Cost of 1 cake = Rs 4

So, cost of 24 cakes will be,

= 4×24=96 (multiply 24 by 4 to get total cost)

Cost price of 2 dozen cakes = Rs 96.

We know the formula, Profit percentage = ProfitCost Price×100

Profit percentage = 50% , Cost price = 96

Substituting in above formula we get

Profit percentage = ProfitCost Price×100

50 = Profit96×100

Profit=50100×96

Profit=12×96

Profit=48

∴ Tea-stall owner will make the profit amount of Rs 48.
