Answer 1

Profit = Rs 60 , When paper bag which costs rs 1.50each are sold at 30 a dozen. and 5 dozen are sold

Step-by-step explanation:

paper bag costs rs 1.50each

1 Dozen has 12

1 Dozen Bag = 12 Bags

5 Dozen Bags = 5 * 12 = 60 Bags

1 Bag Cost = Rs 1.5

60 Bag Cost = 60 * 1.5

=> 60 Bag Cost = Rs 90

=> 5 Dozen Bags Cost = Rs 90

1 Dozen Bags sold for Rs 30

5 Dozen Bags Sold for = 5 * 30 = Rs 150

Profit = 150 - 90

=> Profit = Rs 60

Answer 2

Answer:

Sold at 200 a dozen

=> 200/12 = 100/6 = 50/3

CP = 15

Profit = 50/3 - 15

=> 50 - 45/3 = 5/3

Profit% = profit/CP * 100 = 5/3/15*100

=> 5/45 * 100

=> 1/9 * 100 = 100/9%
