Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A shopkeeper purchased 60 pencil boxes for 4,500 and sold at the rate of Rs 4125 for 50 pencil boxes how much profit percent does he make on selling all the pencil bores?

• So the shopkeeper purchased 60 pencils for Rs 4500.
• Now he sells 50 pencil boxes for Rs 4125.
• So we need to find the profit percent.
• So we have
•          50 pencil boxes cost Rs 4125
•       1 pencil box will cost 4125 / 50
•                                        = Rs 82.5
•       So 1 pencil box will cost Rs 82.5
•       Therefore 60 pencil box will cost 82.5 x 60
•                                                     = Rs 4950
•     So the shopkeeper will get a profit of 4950 – 4500 = Rs 450
•       Now the profit percent = profit x 100 / cost price
•                                             = 450 x 100 / 4500
•                                            = 10%
