Question

Rory buys 80 cauliflowers for 55p each and sells them for a total of £60. He also buys 75 cabbages at 45p each and sells 60 of them at 95p each. He has to throw away the remaining cabbages. Calculate Rory's overall percentage profit.

Answer 1

Hi Bon

 

1-  80 • 55=4400=44£

2-  60-44= 16   profit from cauliflower

3-  60•95=5700=57£

4-  75•45=3375=33.75£

5-  57-33.75=23.25£   profit from cabbage

6-  it is not important that 15 cabbages have destroyed because   selling - buying =profit

7-  23.25+16=39.25£  total profit

8-  39.25% 

 

 

I hope you got it.
