30 dozen of nuts were bought for rs. 14400. If the nuts are sold in a packet of 5 for 250, then the how much profit earned.

Answer 1

Answer

Given,

• Cost price of 30 dozen of nuts = Rs 14400
• Sold in a packet of 5 for Rs 250

To find,

• Profit earned while selling

Solution ,

We know that :

1 dozen = 12

So,

⇰ 30 dozen of nuts = 30 × 12 nuts

⇰ 360 nuts

Cost of one nut : Total cost/total number

⇰ 14400/360

⇰ Rs40

Now,

Cost of 5 nuts :

⇰ 5 × 40

⇰ Rs200

• Hence, cost price of 5 nuts = Rs200
• But the man sold it for = Rs 250 ( given )

So, the man earns 250 - 200 Rs profit in each packet

i.e 50 rupees profit on each packet

Now 360 nuts will be packed in 360/5 packets

Now 360 nuts will be packed in 360/5 packets i.e 72 packets

Hence total profit will be 72 × 50

i.e Rs 3600

So, Total profit will be Rs 3600
