Answer 1

Answer:

8 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of cookies = 50

Cost price of 50 cookies = ₹ 187.50

Profit percentage = 20%

Profit = ₹ (187.50 x 20)/100

         = ₹ 37.5

Selling price of 50 cookies = ₹ (187.50 + 37.5)

                                             = ₹ 225

Amount with Shabnam = ₹ 36

No. of cookies she can buy = (36 x 50)/(225)

                                              = 8 cookies

Hope it helps you....

Answer 2

Answer: She can buy 8 cookies.

Explanation: The shop owner bought 50 cookies for Rs 187.50.

The price of 1 cookie is = 187.50/50 = Rs 3.7

He sells them at a profit of 20%, i.e he sells them for Rs 225.

Now, the price of 1 cookie is 225/50 = Rs 4.5

Shabnam has Rs 36.

She can buy 36/4.5 = 8 cookies.
