Question

    A vendor got some mangoes at Rs. 200 per dozen and sold

    them at Rs. 22 per piece. He sold 7 dozen mangoes in all. Determine the total profit he made.
    A Rs.280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.448 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Cost price of one mango = (200 / 12) = Rs. (50 / 3)

    Profit per mango = 22 - (50 / 3) = Rs. (16 / 3)

    Total profit = (16 / 3) × 7 × 12 = Rs. 448
