1) He bought 3 clips for Rs. 1
2) He bought equal number I.e. 3 for 1/2*3=1.5 Rs.
3) Total cost = 1.5+1 = 2.5
4) SP=2.5+20%=3 (for 6 clips)
5) SP for a dozen =3*2=6

Answer:

The selling price per dozen is Rs.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man bought a number of clips at 3 for a rupee and an equal number at 2 for a rupee.

To find : At what price per dozen should he sell them to make a profit of 20%?

Solution :

According to question,

A man bought a number of clips at 3 for a rupee and an equal number at 2 for a rupee.

Cost price of 2 dozen clips is

CP=12\times \frac{1}{3}+12\times \frac{1}{2}

CP=4+6

CP=10

Profit = 20%

Selling price is given by,

SP=\frac{100+P\%}{100}\times CP

SP=\frac{100+20}{100}\times 10

SP=12

Selling price of two dozen clips = Rs.12

Selling price of 1 dozen clips = \frac{12}{2}=6

Therefore, The selling price per dozen is Rs.6.
