Answer 2

Solution :-

given that,

→ Match box in 1 small packet = 10

and,

→ Total small packets shopkeeper bought = 150

so,

→ Total match box in 150 small packets = 10 * 150 = 1500 match box .

now,

→ CP of 1500 match box = Rs.750

and,

→ SP of 1 match box = 60 paise = 60/100 = Rs.0.6

then,

→ SP of 1500 match box = 0.6 * 1500 = Rs.900 .

therefore,

→ Total profit = SP - CP = 900 - 750 = Rs.150 (Ans.)

Hence, his profit from the sale is Rs.150 .
