Answer 1

Answer:

30% percent profit

Step-by-step explanation:

100 pence in a pound.

1000 grams in a kilogram.

She bought 5000g of sweets.

She pays 10×100=1000 pence.

She put them into 5000÷250=20 bags.

She sells the bags for 65 pence each.

She sells them all for 20×65=1300 pence.

She gets a profit of 300 pence or 3 pounds.

She gets a percent profit of 30%.
