Question

Kamal bought paper sheets for Rs 7200 and spent 200 on transpot.paying 600 he had 330 boxes made whicj he sold at 28 each . Find %

Answer 1

C.P. of the sheets = Rs 7200

Money spent on transport = Rs 200

Money given to labor to make the boxes = Rs 600

Hence the total C.P. = Rs 8000

Now S.P. of 1 box = Rs 28

S.P. of 330 boxes = Rs 28 * 330

= Rs 9240

Hence the profit = Rs 9240 - Rs 8000 = Rs 1240

Profit % = $\frac{1240}{8000}$ * 100

= 15.5%
