Question

A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain percent pls do it step by step​

Answer 1

Given,

CP of cosmetics = Rs 360 per dozen

SP of a pair of cosmetics = Rs 80

To find,

The gain percent

Solution,

1 dozen = 12 items

CP of 1 cosmetic = 360/12 = Rs 30

SP of 1 cosmetic = 80/2 = Rs 40

Profit = SP-CP

= Rs 40 - Rs 30

= Rs 10

Profit percentage is given by :

$\%=\dfrac{profit}{CP}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{10}{30}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%$

So, the profit percentage is 33.34%.
