Answer:
33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.
If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;
x = 1 cosmetic
since 360 = 12 cosmetic
cross multiply
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30
Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30
Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)
Selling price per unit = Rs. 40
Cost price per unit = Rs. 30
percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%
percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100
percent gain = 10/30 * 100
percent gain = 100/3
percent gain = 33.33%
Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%
