• A. 7.68
• B. 15
• C. 16
• D. 19.2

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

16

C.P of 20 dozen notebooks $=48\times 20=960$

C.P of 8 dozen notebooks$=48\times 8=384$

C.P of 12 dozen notebooks$=960-384=576$

Total S.P $=\frac{110}{100}\times 384\times \frac{120}{100}\times 576$

$=1113.60$

Profit % $=(\frac{Profit}{CP}\times 100)\%$

Profit % $=(\frac{153.60}{960}\times 100)\%$

$=16\%$
