Solution

CP of 15 dozen cups = Rs 900Now, 1 dozen cup = 12 cupsso, 15 dozen cups = 15 × 12 = 180 cupsSo, CP of 180 cups = Rs 900When 9 cups cracked, thennumber of cups left = 180 - 9 = 171Now, SP of 1 cup = Rs 9SP of 171 cups = Rs 171 × 9 = Rs 1539Since SP > CP, so there ocurrs a profit.Profit = SP - CP = 1539 - 900 = Rs 639Now, profit % = profitCP×100% = 639900×100% = 71 %
