please give step by step

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello mate

Here is your answer

Here, CP = Rs 864(for 1 dozen, I. e., 12 guavas)

And, SP for each guava =Rs 6.50

Then SP of. 12 guavas = Rs(6.50*12)

= Rs. 78

As, CP>SP

There is a loss

Loss = CP-SP

= Rs ( 864-78)

=Rs 786

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit ₹ 72

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen= 12 guavas

12 dozen= 12*12= 144 guavas

Cost of 2 dozen(144) guavas=₹864

Therefore C.P of 1 guava= 864/144= ₹6

S.P of 1 guava= 6.50

S.P of 2 dozen(144) guavas= 6.50*144=936

Then Profit= S.P–C.P

Profit=936–864= ₹ 72

HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL..............
