Answer 1

The cardboard sheet=rs 3600
He spent rs 100 on transport and he also pay rs 300 for labour
Then the total amount he spent or net CP=3600+100+300=4000
Then,
he made 330 boxes of them.
Selling each of them at rs 14
Total amount=330×14=4620
Profit=4620-4000=620
Profit percentage=profit/Net CP
=(620/4000)×100
=15.5

he made 330 boxes of them.

Selling each of them at rs 14

Profit=4620-4000=620

Profit percentage=profit/Net CP

=(620/4000)×100
