total no. of dozens bought = 20 dozens
total amount spent to buy = $20*10 + $30 * 10 = 200+300 = $500
cost of pencils sold per dozen = $28
total dozens sold = 20
cost earned = 20*28 = $560
therefore profit = $560-$500 = $60
total amount spent to buy = $20*10 + $30 * 10 = 200+300 = $500
cost of pencils sold per dozen = $28
total dozens sold = 20
cost earned = 20*28 = $560
therefore profit = $560-$500 = $60

total no. of dozens bought = 20 dozens
total amount spent to buy = $20*5 + $30 *5 = $250
cost of pencils sold per dozen = $28
total dozens sold = 10
cost earned = 10*28 = $280
therefore profit = $280-$250 = $30
total amount spent to buy = $20*5 + $30 *5 = $250
cost of pencils sold per dozen = $28
total dozens sold = 10
cost earned = 10*28 = $280
therefore profit = $280-$250 = $30
