profit=40 ×200÷100=80

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The florist should sell at Rs. 3 per dozen to make a profit of

20% on his purchase.

Total number of roses bought = 100 dozen (Given)

Cost of 1 dozen roses = Rs. 2  (Given)

Thus, the cost price of 100 dozen roses = 2  × 100 =  Rs. 200

Roses that are left after discarding the mutilated ones = 80 dozens

To calculate the price at which the florist should sell the 80 dozen roses to make a profit of 20% -

Profit%/100 = SP - CP/CP

20/100 = SP - 200/200

1/5 = SP - 200/200

SP = 240

Therefore, the selling price of the roses should be  -

= 240/80
