Emily buys a pack of 12 bottles of water the pack cost £5.64. Emily sells all 12 bottles for 50p each.Work out Emily's percentage profit.Give your awnser correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer 1

Emily bought 12 bottles of water for £5.64.

Emily sells all 12 bottles for 50p each. 12 times 50p = 6

Emily sold 12 bottles of water for £6

Profit = selling price - cost price = 6 - 5.64 = 0.36

Profit percentage =
`(Profit value )/(cost price ) * 100`

=
`(0.36 )/(5.64 ) * 100`

= 0.0638297 * 100

= 6.4%

Emily's percentage profit = 6.4%
