Answer 1

Answer:

good evening friends have a great day today onwards

Step-by-step explanation:

number of roses = 240

cost = Rs. 10 per dozen

number of dozens = 240/12 = 20 dozens

cost price = 20×10 = Rs. 200

he sold them at Rs. 1.50 each

selling price = 240×1.50 = 360

profit = 360 - 200 = Rs. 160

% profit =

He earned 80% profit.

Answer 2

$\bold \purple{step \: by \: step \: explanation \: }$

Firstly, Rs. 10/12=0.83

Since cost price of each flower = Rs. 0.83

And, Selling price of each flower = Rs 1.50

Finding total cost of 240 flowers= 0.83*240= Rs.199.2

And selling price of 240 = 1.5*240= Rs 360

Finding profit=

selling price-cost price=profit

360-199.2=160.8

He made a profit of Rs 160.8

finding profit pecent=

profit*100/C.P

160.8*100/199.2

80.72%

Hence, he made 80.72% profit
