Answer 2

Selling price of an insect killing equipment = $ 40

Cost of the shop = $20

Operating expense =

= 20% of regular selling price

= 20% of 40

$= \frac{\texttt{20}}{\texttt{100}} \texttt{ \: × \: 40}$

$= \frac{\texttt{20×40}}{\texttt{100}}$

$= \frac{\texttt{800}}{\texttt{100}}$

$= 8$

So, the operating expense of the shop is = $8 .

Cost price :-

$= \texttt{20 + 8 }$

$= 28$

So, the the shop spends $28 for making each and every equipment .

Profit the shop makes :-

$\hookrightarrow \: \texttt{\color{olive}profit = \color{hotpink}selling \: price \: - \: cost \: price}$

$\texttt{ = 40 - 28}$

$= 12$

Therefore, the shop will earn a profit of $12 on every sale .
