Question

A florist bought 240 roses at Rs. 10 per dozen and sold them at 1.50 each. Find his profit and loss percent

Answer 1

number of roses = 240
cost = Rs. 10 per dozen
number of dozens = 240/12 = 20 dozens
cost price = 20×10 = Rs. 200

he sold them at Rs. 1.50 each
selling price = 240×1.50 = 360

profit = 360 - 200 = Rs. 160

% profit = $\frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100= \frac{160}{200} \times 100 = 80$

He earned 80% profit.

Answer 2

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

number of roses = 240

cost = Rs. 10 per dozen

number of dozens = 240/12 = 20 dozens

cost price = 20×10 = Rs. 200

he sold them at Rs. 1.50 each

selling price = 240×1.50 = 360

profit = 360 - 200 = Rs. 160

% profit = \frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100= \frac{160}{200} \times 100 = 80
