A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain percent pls do it step by step

33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the gain percent, first 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 one cosmetic will cost 360/12 = Rs. 30

Also if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40

Selling price = Rs. 40

Cost price = Rs. 30

% gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%

% gain = 40-30/30 * 100

% gain = 10/30 * 100

% gain = 100/3

% gain = 33.3%

Hence the percentage gain is 33.3%
