Work out Mo's percentage profit.​


Sagot :

Given :

Mo spends £15 on ingredients to make 40 cookies.

He sells all 40 cookies for 50p each.

To Find :

The Mo's percentage profit.

Solution :

We know, 1 £ = 66.09 p.

So, total income is :

T = 40 × 50 p

T = 2000 p

T = £2000/66.09  

T = £30.26

So, total profit is, P = £( 30.26 - 15 ) = £15.26 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

To solve the problem we will firstly calculate the profit of Mo.

Mo's percentage profit is 33.34%.

Given to us

  • Mo spends £15 on ingredients to make 40 cookies.
  • Mo sells all 40 cookies for 50pence (£0.50) each.

Cost of making 40 cookies

Cost of making 40 cookies = £15

Total earning through cookies

Total earning through cookies

                                              = Number of cookies x Cost of each cookie

                                              = 40 x 0.50

                                              = £20

Total profit from cookies

Total profit from cookies

= Total earning through cookies - Cost of making 40 cookies

= £20 - £15

= £5

Mo's percentage profit

[tex]\text{Mo's percentage profit}=\dfrac{\text{Total profit from cookies}}{\text{Cost of making cookies}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mo's percentage profit}=\dfrac{5}{15}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mo's percentage profit}=0.3334 = 33.34\%[/tex]

Hence, Mo's percentage profit is 33.34%.
