Answer 2

Answer:

he got profit because he bought it for 100 per 1 dozen=12 apples and in 20 dozens 1 dozen was rotten so he sold the remaining apples for 10 per Apple 19 dozen Apple=228 apples and by selling the 228 apples for 10 rupees he will get 2280rupees and he bought the 20 dozen apples for 2000rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

20 dozen apples=100 per dozen

1dozen=12 apples

1dozen was rotten apples

amount spent on 20 dozen apples=2000

Mustafa sold it for 10rs per apple =19 dozen apples

19 dozen=228 apples

10×228 apples=2,280rupees

so he bought for 2000rs and sold for 2,280rs

2,280-2000=280rs

Mustafa got profit of rupees 280

(2280-2000)/2000×100

280/2000×100=14percent profit
