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 |

He brought 20 dozens toys at the rate of 375/Dozen.
For 20 Dozens 375*20=7500(20 dozen).
For 1 Piece 7500/(20*12) = 31.25 (1 Dozen=12 piece).
SP=33/Piece(Given in question).
For 1 Dozen =396/Dozen (33*12=396).
For 20 Dozens=7920/(20 Dozen),
SP=7920 CP=7500,
P%=(7920-7500)*100/7500,
So P%=5.6.
For 20 Dozens 375*20=7500(20 dozen).
For 1 Piece 7500/(20*12) = 31.25 (1 Dozen=12 piece).
SP=33/Piece(Given in question).
For 1 Dozen =396/Dozen (33*12=396).
For 20 Dozens=7920/(20 Dozen),
SP=7920 CP=7500,
P%=(7920-7500)*100/7500,
So P%=5.6.

C.P = 7500 Rs.
S.P. = 33 * 12 * 20 = 7920 Rs.
Gain = 420 Rs.
% profit = 420 * 100/7500 = 5.65% profit.
S.P. = 33 * 12 * 20 = 7920 Rs.
Gain = 420 Rs.
% profit = 420 * 100/7500 = 5.65% profit.

CP = 20*375(each dozen has buys for 375 rs so multiply this how many dozens he purchased) => 7500.
SP = 20 dozens means 20*12 = 240 * 33(he sold each piece cost) =>7920,
p = s.p -c.p =>7920 - 7500 = 420.
p% = (420/7500)*100 => 5.6.
SP = 20 dozens means 20*12 = 240 * 33(he sold each piece cost) =>7920,
p = s.p -c.p =>7920 - 7500 = 420.
p% = (420/7500)*100 => 5.6.
