1️⃣ 13% profit
2️⃣ 12% profit
3️⃣ 15% profit
4️⃣ 14% profit​

Answer 1

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Bought Cost = Rs 35400

Transportation Cost = Rs 800

Labour Charges = Rs 300

Therefore Total Cost Price = 35400 + 800 + 300

= Rs 36500

Profit = Rs 5475

Now we should know the formula to find profit percentage. So,

• Profit % = Profit × 100

CP

= 5475 × 100

36500

= 5475. ( zero to zero cancel )

365

= 15 % answer
