plz answer this question very fast .

Answer 1

Firstly we have to see all the payments.
Then,
Price of cardboard = 3600
Rs spent on transport = 100
Money for the labour = 300

All the total of this payments = 3600 + 100 + 300 = 4000
He made the boxes of the cardboard sheet that he borrowed for ₹3600

Now we have to see price of each boxes = 14 × 330 = 4620
To get the profit percent we have to divide 4000 by 4620 = 4000/4620 = 1.15

Therefore, the profit per cent = 1.15%

Answer 2

Answer:

C.P. of cardboard sheet=$3600

Transport charges=$100

Labour charges=$300

Total C.P.=$(3,600+100+300)

=$4,000

S.P. of cardboard sheet=14*330

=$4,620

Profit amount=$(4,620-4,000)

=$620

Profit %=(620*100/4,000)%

=15.5%
