    Question

    Dinesh purchases 12 dozens of apples at the rate of Rs. 300 per dozen. He sells each apple at the rate of Rs. 30. What is the profit of Dinesh?

    A.

    25 percent

    B.

    15 percent

    C.

    10 percent

    D.

    20 percent

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Cost of 12 dozens of apples at Rs. 300 per dozen.
    Selling price per apple = Rs. 30.
    Formula Used:
     Total Cost Price (CP) = Cost per dozen × number of dozens
     Total Selling Price (SP) = Selling price per apple × total number of apples
    Profit Percentage = SPCPCP×100\frac{SP - CP}{CP }\times100

    Solution:
    Total number of apples = 12 × 12 = 144.
    Total CP = 300 × 12 = 3600.
    Total SP = 30 × 144 = 4320.
    Profit Percentage = 7203600×100\frac{720}{3600} \times 100 ​= 20%
    Thus, the profit percentage of Dinesh is 20%.
