Question

if amos makes the profit of 15cents per sweet in sales how much will he earn in rands

Answer 1

Answer:

HEY MATE

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of toffee bought for 20 Rupees = 15

C. P of 15 toffees = 20 .

C. P of 1 toffee = 4/3 Rs.

To gain, 25 % profit, what should be S. P of each toffee.

Profit % = S. P - C. P / C. P * 100

25 / 100 = SP - 4/3 / 4/3

1/4 * 4/3 = SP - 4/3

1/3 + 4/3 = SP

5/3 = SP.

So each toffee = 5/3 Rs.

Number of toffee that will be bought for 20 Rs = 20 / ( 5 / 3 ) = 20 * 3 / 5 = 12  

Therefore, By selling 12 toffees for 20 Rs. We will get 25% profit.

thank you
