Question

A floweriest buys 100 dozen roses at Rs 2 a dozen. By the time the flowers are

delivered, 20 dozen roses are mutilated and are thrown away. At what price should

he sell the rest if he needs to make a 20% profit on his purchase?​

Answer 1

a dozen is ₹2

100 dozen = 2*100

=200

20 dozen are thrown away

20-100

=80

80*2=160

he should sell a dozen at the rate of ₹3

then 80*4=240

then he gets 20% profit

hope it helps you
