Chamanlal purchased 20 dozen note books @ Rs.48 per dozen. He sold 8 dozen at 10% profit and the remaining12 dozens with 20% profit. What is the profit percentage in this transaction?

Answer»

16 %



Total cost PRICE = 20 × 48 = Rs.960/-

Amount of first selling = 8 × Rs.52.80 = Rs.422.40

Amount of SECOND selling = 12 × Rs.57.60 = Rs.691.20

Total selling price = 422.40 + 691.20 = Rs.1113.60

Profit = 1113.60 – 960 = Rs.153.60

Therefore profit per cent in this transaction = 153.60 × 100/960 = 16%.
