No of fruit bought = 14 × 12
=168
Given, cost per dozen = ₹3
==> Cost of 14 dozen (CP)= ₹(14×3)
=₹43 (CP)
No of fruits rotten rotten =20
Total fruits sold = 168 -20
=148
Selling price of 1 dozen =₹3.72
==>Selling price of 148 fruits = (148/12) ×₹3.72
=₹45.87 approx
Profift = Sp-Cp
= ₹(45.87-43)
= ₹2.87 ✓✓✓✓
