Question

Siddarth bought a carton of 12 dozen apples for RS 2000.If he sold each apple for RS 31/2, did he make a profit? If so how much?​

Answer 1

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:CP of 12 dozen apples=2000 i.e the cost of 12*12=144 apples

Now sp of 1 apple=rs 31/2

So so of 144 apples=31/2*144=rs 2232

So profit=sp-cp=2232-2000=232 rs

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In 12 dozen = 12 × 12 = 144 apples

cp of 144 apples = 2000 rs

now, sp of 1 apple is = 31/2

then, sp of 144 apples is = 31/2 × 144 = 2232 rs

so, profit are = sp - cp = 2232 - 2000 = 232 rs
