40

​

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price of bananas=40 per dozen

he sold At price(Selling Price)=10 bananas for 36

cost Price of one banana =40÷12=3.33

Selling Price of one banana=36÷10=3.6

one dozen Sp of banana=3.6×12=43.2

So,Sp>Cp

So he have profit

Profit=43.2-40=3.2

Profit percent =p÷cp×100

=3.2÷40×100

=0.08×100

=8%

So he have profit of 8 percent.
