Solution
Cost of one box = Rs.180
∴ C.P. of 25 boxes = Rs.180 x 25 = Rs.4500
One box contains = 12bars
∴ 25 boxes contain
= 12 x 25
= 300 bars
∴ S.P. of 25 boxes
= Rs.18 x 300
= Rs.5400
∵ S.P. > C.P.
Profit
= S.P. - C.P.
= Rs. (5400 - 4500)
= Rs.900
Profit %
=`"Profit"/"C.P." xx 100`
= `(900)/(4500) xx 100`
= 20%.
