Sam purchased 20 dozens of toys at the rate of Rs. 375 per dozen. He sold each one of them at the rate of Rs. 33. What was his percentage profit?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Cost Price of 1 toy = Rs. |  |
375 |  |
= Rs. 31.25 |
| 12 |
Selling Price of 1 toy = Rs. 33
So, Gain = Rs. (33 - 31.25) = Rs. 1.75
 Profit % = |
|
1.75 | x 100 | % |
= | 28 | % = 5.6% |
| 31.25 | 5 |

CP = 375*20=7500.
SP = 33*12*20=7920.
Then profit=(s.p-c.p)/c.p.
=(7920-7500)/7500 *100,
= 5.6.
SP = 33*12*20=7920.
Then profit=(s.p-c.p)/c.p.
=(7920-7500)/7500 *100,
= 5.6.

Shiva's explanation is nice.
We have to calculate profit %, not Profit.
So, we can calculate it on differences of 1 Dozen also and we don't need to do all calculation.
We always try to find the short trick to solve questions.

1 dozen toy price=375 rs,
1 dozen=12 toys,
So,C.P of 20 dozen toys=375 * 20 = 7500 rs,
Now,they have given S.P of each toy = 33 rs,
S.P of 20 dozen = 396 * 20 = 7920 rs.
Profit = S.P - C.P.
= 7920 - 7500,
= 420.
PROFIT %= Profit * 100/C.P,
= 420 * 100/7500.
= 5.6.
1 dozen=12 toys,
So,C.P of 20 dozen toys=375 * 20 = 7500 rs,
Now,they have given S.P of each toy = 33 rs,
S.P of 20 dozen = 396 * 20 = 7920 rs.
Profit = S.P - C.P.
= 7920 - 7500,
= 420.
PROFIT %= Profit * 100/C.P,
= 420 * 100/7500.
= 5.6.

20dozens.
12no's - 375 ( cp)
1toy-33.
So ,12*33=396 (sp),
396-375=21(sp-cp),
21÷375*100=5.6.
12no's - 375 ( cp)
1toy-33.
So ,12*33=396 (sp),
396-375=21(sp-cp),
21÷375*100=5.6.

Very simple guys.
1 dozen toy price=375 rs,
1 dozen=12 toys,
So,C.P of 20 dozen toys=375*20=7500 rs,
Now,they have given S.P of each toy = 33 rs,
S.P of 20 dozen = 396*20=7920 rs.
Profit=S.P-C.P.
=7920-7500,
=420.
% PROFIT = Profit*100/C.P,
=420*100/7500.
=5.6.
1 dozen toy price=375 rs,
1 dozen=12 toys,
So,C.P of 20 dozen toys=375*20=7500 rs,
Now,they have given S.P of each toy = 33 rs,
S.P of 20 dozen = 396*20=7920 rs.
Profit=S.P-C.P.
=7920-7500,
=420.
% PROFIT = Profit*100/C.P,
=420*100/7500.
=5.6.

CP of 1 dozen = 375.
CP of 20 dozens = 90000,
CP of 1 toy = 31.25,
SP of 1 toy = 33.
SP of 20 dozens = 95040,
Profit= SP - CP = 95040 - 90000 = 5040,
i.e profir = 5.6%.
CP of 20 dozens = 90000,
CP of 1 toy = 31.25,
SP of 1 toy = 33.
SP of 20 dozens = 95040,
Profit= SP - CP = 95040 - 90000 = 5040,
i.e profir = 5.6%.
