Answer 1

Answer:

20.55%

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. = 225 *12 = 2700

S.P. = (225-8)*15 = 3255

S.p. - C.p. = 3255-2700 = 555

Percentage = 555*100/2700 =555/27 = 20.55%

Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage profit that the shopkeeper earned is in option B) 20.55%

Step-by-step explanation:

A shopkeeper has purchased 225 bulbs for Rs. 12 each then

Cost Price, C.P. = $225*12= Rs.2700$

Now 8 bulbs are thrown as they are fuse and remaining $(225-8=217)$are sold at Rs. 15 each then

Selling Price, S.P. = $217*15=Rs.3255$

Then profit percentage can be calculated as

Percentage Profit = $\frac{S.P.-C.P.}{C.P.} *100$

⇒Percentage Profit = $\frac{3255-2700}{2700} *100$

⇒Percentage Profit = $20.55%$ %

Hence option B) 20.55% is the correct option
