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 |

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.

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.

Well said @Dheepthi, thank you.

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.

The simplest answer is;
Cp of 1 dozen of toy=375.
Sp of 1 dozen of toy=12*33=396.
P%=396-375/375*100=5.6%.
Cp of 1 dozen of toy=375.
Sp of 1 dozen of toy=12*33=396.
P%=396-375/375*100=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.
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/dozen = 375.
SP/dozen= 33*12= 396,
Profit= 396-375= 21.
%profit = (21/375)*100,
= 84/15,
=5.6.
SP/dozen= 33*12= 396,
Profit= 396-375= 21.
%profit = (21/375)*100,
= 84/15,
=5.6.

Not 20 dozens, one dozen of toys is Rs 375 is correct.

Cp = 20 * 375.
Sp = 33 * (20 * 12) he will sell each toy, not each dozen so we have to take 20 * 12.
Profit= sp - cp = 420.
Gain(%) = 420/7500 * 100 = 5.6.
Sp = 33 * (20 * 12) he will sell each toy, not each dozen so we have to take 20 * 12.
Profit= sp - cp = 420.
Gain(%) = 420/7500 * 100 = 5.6.
