Question

A trader bought 60 articles for 25000 and sold them at 6000 per dozen.
A.find the total profit
B. Find the percentage profit

Answer 1

Answer:

C.P. of 60 articles = 25000 rs

C.P. of 1 article = 25000/60

= 416.67 rs

S.P. of 12 articles = 6000 rs

S.P. of 60 articles = (6000×5) rs

= 30000 rs

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= (30000 - 25000) rs

= 5000 rs

Profit percent = Profit / C.P. × 100

= 5000/25000×100

= 20%
