Answer 2

Answer:

profit = 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. of 20 dozen banana at rupees 15 per dozen = 20×15 = 300 rupees

12 banana means 1 dozen bananas are roten

so, the remaining bananas =

20-1=19 dozen

S.P. of 19 dozen bananas at 18 rupees. per dozen =

19×18 =342 rupees

S.P. is greater then C.P. it means profit

profit = 342 -300 =42 rupees

profit = profit/ C.P. × 100

=14%

=42 /300× 100

hence the shopkeeper gained = 14%
