A shopekeeper purchased 20 dozen pens at the rate of ₹190 per dozen, and spent ₹200 as to and for expenses to the wholesale market. He sold the pens at the rate of ₹22 pen. Find his profit percentage?
The cost of 1 dozen = ₹190
Number of dozen = 20
Total cost = $$190\times\ 20=₹3800$$
Spend ₹200 as expenses for the whole sale market
Total Cost price for shopkeeper : ₹3800 + ₹200 = ₹4000
Selling price of 1 pen = ₹22
Number of pen = 20$$\times12\ =\ 240$$
Total selling price =$$240\times\ 22=₹5280$$
Net profit = Total SP - Total CP
= ₹5280 - ₹4000 = ₹1280
Profit percentage = $$\frac{profit}{CP}\times\ 100$$
= $$\frac{1280}{4000}\times\ 100=\ 32\%$$
Hence, Option D is correct.
