Question

Mr. Mishra bought 12 dozen notebooks for 2160 .on opening the packets.he found that 36 notebooks were damaged.at what price should he sell the remaining notebook to make a profit of 10%

Answer 1

12 dozen notebooks = 12 * 12= 144 notebooks in total = $2160

1 notebook= $15 (initially)

36 notebooks are damaged

144-36= 108 undamaged notebooks

10% gain = 10/100 *2160= $216

so, 216 + 2160= $2376

=2376/108

=$22 per notebook
