Question

A vendor bought 1200 oranges at ₹16 a dozen . If he wants to make a profit of 20 % at what price per hundred must he sell the oranges ?

Answer 1

1920 is the answer. Since, Dozen =16, No. of dozens= 100. C.P=100×16=1600, S.P=20% of C.P + C.P
$\frac{20}{100 } \times 1600$
= 320 + 1600
=1920
Per hundred=
=1920/100+ 1600/100
=19.2×16
=307.2
