Answer 1

hey there !!

shopkeeper bought 50 dozen of bananas for rs 15/dozen ,

than ,

cost price = 15 × 50 = 750

now ,

he sold half of stock means , he sold around 25 dozen, at the rate of 24 per dozen ,

than selling price if 25 dozen = 600 ,

now ,

the remaining bananas he sold at the rate of 8rs / dozen .

8 × 25 = 200

therefore total rupees of selling banana 200+600= 800

hence the o overall profit = 800-750 = 50
