100 oranges were purchased for Rs. 800 and sold at the rate of Rs. 108 per dozen. What is the percentage profit?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 121212{{1} \over 2}%.

CP per orange = 800/100 = 8

SP per orange = 108/12 = 9

Profit per orange = 9 - 8 = 1

Profit percentage = (1/8) × 100 = 121212{{1} \over 2}%
