now,

the selling price of 12 apples = Rs. 50

Thus, the selling price of 1 apple =

$= \frac{50}{12} = \frac{25}{6} = 4.167$

Thus, profit =

$= selling \: price - cost \: price \\ = 4.167 - 3.75 \\ = 0.417$

Thus , shambu got a profit of Rs. 0.417.

Answer 2

the selling price of each apple= 4.16 rupees/apple

the selling price of 33 dozen at the rate = 50 rupees per dozen= 33×50= 1650

the sell price of 3 apple at the rate of = 4.16 rupees per apple = 3× 4.16= 12.48 rupees

total selling price= 12.48 + 1650 = 1662.48
