A group of friends shared the cost of a printer. If John, Carl and Jason each paid $15, $25, and $112 respectively, then Carl pa

vfiekz [6]

The percent of the cost of the printer Carl paid is 16.45%

<h3>The total cost of printer</h3>

Since John, Carl and Jason each paid $15, $25, and $112 respectively, the total cost of the printer is T = $15 + $25 + $112 = $152

Since Carl paid $25, we need to find the percent of the total amount Carl paid.

<h3>Percent Carl paid</h3>

So, percent Carl paid = amount Carl paid/total cost × 100 %

Since amount Carl paid = $25 and total cost = $152,

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

percent Carl paid = amount Carl paid/total cost × 100 %

percent Carl paid = $25/$152 × 100 %

percent Carl paid = 0.1645 × 100 %

percent Carl paid = 16.45%

The percent of the cost of the printer Carl paid is 16.45%

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 p

k0ka [10]

Given,

CP of cosmetics = Rs 360 per dozen

SP of a pair of cosmetics = Rs 80

We need to find the profit percentage.

Solution,

We know that,

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%.
