Answer 1

Given :

1 dozen = 12 oranges .

Finding cost of dozen oranges -

12 oranges = ?

12 x 250 / 100

3000/100

30.

cost price of dozen oranges = ₹ 30


Given : selling price of dozen oranges = ₹ 33


Here , SP is more , so profit.

Profit = selling price - cost price.

Profit = 33 - 30 .

profit = 3


Finding profit percentage -

profit percentage = profit/cp x 100

= 3 / 30 x 100

= 300/30

10 % .

Hence : Profit percentage = 10% .
