Answer:-

$\pink{\bigstar}$ Profit% of $\large\leadsto\boxed{\rm\purple{13.34\%}}$

• Given:-

Articles are bought at € 45 per dozen.

Sold at € 85 per score.

• To Find:-

Gain or loss percentage

• Solution:-

★ Note:-

[ 1 dozen = 12 units]

[ 1 score = 20 units]

Given that,

Cost Price of 12 articles[1 dozen] = € 45

Selling Price of 20 articles[1 score] = € 85

Therefore,

Cost Price of 1 article = $\dfrac{45}{12}$

➙ € 3.75

Selling Price of 1 article = $\dfrac{85}{20}$

➙ € 4.25

Here,

S.P > C.P

Hence, Profit

Profit = S.P - C.P

➙ 4.25 - 3.75

➙ € 0.5

Profit% = Profit/C.P × 100

➙ 0.5/3.75 × 100

➙ 13.3333

➙ 13.34 % Profit
