Answer 1

Answer:

⇢ $\rm{Profit \: percentage = 13.33}$

Step-by-step-explanation:

Given:-

⇢ A dealer bought 20 toys at the rate of 120 rupee per toy he sold 8 of them at the rate of 130 rupee per toy and the remaining at the rate of 140 rupee per toy.

ㅤ

Find:-

⇢ What was his profit percentage.

ㅤ

Calculations:-

Cost price = CP.

Selling price = SP.

ㅤ

Cost price:-

⇢ $\rm{20 \times 120}$

⇢ ${\boxed{\bold{2400}}}$

ㅤ ㅤ

Selling price:-

⇢ $\rm{8 \times 130 + 12 \times 140}$

⇢ $\rm{1040 + 1680}$

⇢ ${\boxed{\bold{2720}}}$

ㅤ

Profit:-

⇢ $\rm{2720 - 2400}$

⇢ ${\boxed{\bold{320}}}$

ㅤ

Converting into percentage:-

⇢ $\rm{\dfrac{320}{2400} \times 100}$

ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

⇢ ${\boxed{\bold{13.33 \: percentage }}}$

ㅤ

Therefore, 13.33 is the required profit percentage.
