Answer 1

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

(4) 450

● Explanation -

Profit over deodorants is calculated by -

Profit = 4 × 160 × 15/100

Profit = 96 Rs/day

Profit over talc powder is calculated by -

Profit = 5 × 90 × 12/100

Profit = 54 Rs/day

Net profit per day is calculated as -

Net profit = 96 + 54

Net profit = 150 Rs/day

Total profit in 3 days will be 3×150 = 450 Rs.

Thanks dear...
