Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A certain brand soap-powder is sold at ₹15 per packet.
b) It costs ₹144 a dozen.
Find :- profit or loss in percent on 8 dozen packet ?
Now,
we know that 1 dozen mean's 12 packets of soap-powder
so,hence
1 dozen = 12 packets of soap-powder
from given ( a )
Cost of 12 packets of soap-powder OR
one dozen of soap-powder packets
= ₹(12 × cost of one packet)
= ₹(12 × 15)
= ₹ 180 ( 1 )
from given ( b ) & ( 1 )
cost price of 8 dozen soap-powder
packets = ₹ (8 × 144) = ₹ 1152 ....( 3 )
selling price of 8 dozen soap-powder packets = ₹ (8 × 180)
= ₹ 1440 ( 4 )
From ( 3 ) and ( 4 )
we know selling price > cost price
so its a profit
= Profit = selling price - cost price
= Profit = ₹ ( 1440 - 1152 )
= Profit = ₹ 288
= Profit percentage
= ( profit / cost price ) × 100
= Profit percentage
= (288/1152)×100
=> Profit percentage
= ( 1/4 )×100
= Profit percentage
= 0.25 × 100
= Profit Percentage
= 25 %
Hence profit is ₹ 288 and profit percentage 25 % on 8 dozen
soap-powder packets.
