Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dictionary                                                   encyclopaedias

C.P =158                                                      C.P =2480

S.P =181.70                                                 S.P =7827.20

Profit =181.70 -158                                     P  =7827.20 -2480

        =23.70                                                  = 5347.20

P%  =(23.70 /158 ) x 100                         P%   = (5347.20 /2480) x100

      =15%                                                         = 215.6%

∴ difference = 215.6 -15

                     =200.6%
