cost price of brad = 9.25
selling price of each bottle = 1
selling price of 12 bottles = 1*12 = 12

formula

profit = selling price - cost price
p = 12-9.25
p = 2.75

profit = 2.5

profit percent = profit / cost price * 100

p= 2.5/9.25*100
p = 27.0

hence ,

profit percent = 27.0 percent

do you understand it

Gayathridaggubati13: to find profit percent the formula is profit/ cost price *100
RockingDK310: profit/sp *100
Gayathridaggubati13: think logically , if know sp and you don't know cp then how can you know whether it is profit or loss . profit and loss both depends on c.p only . so profit / c.p * 100
RockingDK310: better go for google u will understand...........profit is sp-cp.........so there exist no such logic as yours.........
Gayathridaggubati13: in youtube there are derivations too . you can check in that
RockingDK310: buddy actual formula is profit ÷sp ×100
Gayathridaggubati13: ok . Don't believe my words . which class you are
fouds002302: well done you got brainlest
Gayathridaggubati13: thank you
