Answer: 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shopkeeper purchased 60 pencil boxes for 4,500, he purchased them at the rate of:
= 4500 / 60
= 85 per pencil box
If the shopkeeper sold them at the rate of 4,125 for 50 pencil boxes, then he sold them at the rate of:
= 4125 / 50
= 82.50 per pencil box.
Therefore the percentage profit will be:
= Gain / Cost price × 100
= (82.50 - 75) / 75 × 100
= 7.5/75 × 100
= 10%

Work:
23.99+3.60=27.59
27.59-4.51=23.08
23.08+0.95=24.03
24.03+2.17=26.20
26.20-1.08=25.12

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by making up as many teams as we can with the 32 student. Given that each team is different, we can make 10 teams of 3 each. (we still have 23 more teams to make).
The last two people make a team of only 2. No matter which student from the 30 other students is picked, the team of two and the one the student is coming from will have one student in common. Though there are more borrowings that take place (many more), the results remain as stated. At least 2 teams will have 1 person in common.
The method is called the pigeon hole method.
