Answer 1

Answer:

432

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$\sf\red{Given:}$

• Profit=20%
• S.P. of 3dozen apples=₹12per apple

$\sf\blue{To\:Find:-}$

• The price he had paid or the C.P.

$\sf\pink{Solution:-}$

$\longrightarrow$Apples=3dozen

(We know that 1dozen=12)

So,

$\longrightarrow$3 dozen=3×12=36 apples.

$\longrightarrow$Cost of per apple=₹12

$\longrightarrow$Cost of 36 apples

$\longrightarrow$36×12=₹432

Therefore,The S.P. =₹432

Profit %= 12%

C.P.=?

To find the C.P. we will derive the formula:-

$\sf\purple{C.P.=}\frac{SP×100}{100+Profit percent}$

$\longrightarrow$CP= $\frac{432×100}{100+12}$

$\longrightarrow$CP=$\frac{43200}{112}$

$\longrightarrow$CP=$385.72$

Therefore,the price paid for all the apples is $385.72$
