Question 3 Back to Exercise
Sam purchased 20 dozens of toys at the rate of ₹375 per dozen. He sold each one of them at the rate of ₹33. What was his percentage profit?

  • A 3.5
  • B 4.5
  • C 5.6 Correct
  • D 6.5
Correct Answer: Option C

Cost Price of 1 toy = ₹ ( 375 ) = ₹31.25
12

Selling Price of 1 toy = ₹33

So, Gain = ₹ (33 - 31.25) = ₹1.75

∴ Profit % = ( 1.75 x 100 )% = 28 % = 5.6%
31.25 5
