Answer 1

total caps sold 13

total profit 39

39/13=3

profit for each cap is 3%

Answer 2

Answer:

39 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that C.P. of each cap is Rs. 100 and S.P. of each cap is Rs. 139.

We know that, profit % is the ratio of the profit and the C.P.

So, profit% on 1 cap =  

p r o f i t  of  1  c a p /  C . P .  o f 1 cap   x 100

=  39 /100  x 100

He sold 13 caps.

So profit % on 13 caps =  39  x  13 /  100  x  13    x 100 = 39%.

So the profit% remains the same whether he sells 1 cap or 13 caps.
