Answer 1

Answer:

1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

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 4620 by 4000 = 4620/4000 = 1.15

Therefore, the profit per cent = 1.15% is the answer.
