Question:

By selling 3 dozen ball pens, a shopkeeper earned the profit equal to the selling price of 10 ball pens. Find his profit percent.

Options:

29\(\frac{7}{9}\)%

38\(\frac{6}{13}\)%

27\(\frac{7}{9}\)%

19\(\frac{7}{9}\)

Correct Answer:

38\(\frac{6}{13}\)%

Explanation:

ATQ,

⇒ S.P. - C.P. = Profit

⇒ 36 S.P. - 36 C.P. = 10 S.P.

⇒ 26 S.P. = 36 C.P.

⇒ S.P. : C.P. = 36 : 26, 18 : 13

⇒ Profit = 5R

⇒ Profit % = \(\frac{5}{13}\) × 100 = 38\(\frac{6}{13}\)%
