Answer 2

⇒ Given :-

• A man purchased 20 dozens of toys,

• at the rate of Rs. 375 per dozen.

• He sold each one of them at the rate of Rs. 33.

⇒ To Find :-

• What was his percentage profit?

⇒ Solution :-

• C.P of a dozen of toys = Rs. 375

• 1 dozen toys = 12 toys

• C.P of 1 toy = 375 ÷ 12

                           = Rs. 31.25

• S.P of each toy = Rs. 33

• Profit = S.P - C.P

                  = Rs. 33 -31.25

                  = Rs. 1.75

• ∴ Profit percentage = ( Profit ÷ C.P x 100 ) %

                                         = ( 1.75 ÷ 31.25 x 100 ) %

                                         = 28 ÷ 5

                                         = 5.6 %
