Answers
Answer:
17 % profit is the answer....
Option B is correct...
Answer:
17% profit
Step-by-step explanation:
:- Given :-
- Shopkeeper purchased 200 bulb
- bulb purchased at rs 10 each
- 5 bulb get fused
- Remaining bulb were sold at rs 12 each
:- To Find:-
- Profit or loss % of shopkeeper
:- Formula we use :-
when shopkeeper get profit then =
when shopkeeper get loss then =
:- Explanation :-
CP ( coast price) of 1 bulb = 10rs
so, CP (cost price) of 200 bulbs = 200×10
= 2000rs.
According to the given question -
5 bulbs get fused so, the number of bulbs remain safe = 195
therefore,
SP( selling price) of 1 bulb = 12rs
so, SP( selling price) of 195 bulbs = 12×195
= 2340rs
here , we found =
CP = 2000rs
SP = 2340 rs
so, we can see that SP > CP
if SP is bigger than CP then there is profit happen.
so,
Gain = SP - CP
=> 2340-2000
=> 340rs
so,
to find profit Percent ,
we use formula of Gain %
=>
=> 340 ×100÷ 2000
=> 34/2
=> 17 %
so, shopkeeper get the profit of 17%
