Answer 1

Answer:

17%. As

$340 \div 20 = 17$

Answer 2

Answer:

No. of bulbs purchased = 200

Cp of each bulb = rs 10

Total Cp = 10 * 200 = 2000

No of bulbs thrown away = 5

So no of bulbs sold = 195

Sp of each bulb = rs 12

So total sp = 12* 195 = 2340 rupees

Here sp > Cp

So the shopkeeper have gain.

Gain = sp - Cp = 2340 - 2000

= 340

Therefore profit % = profit/cp*100 %

= 340/2000*100 %

= 17%

Ans = The shopkeeper got 17% profit.
