Answer:

1. Sales price per sweater= Rs 800

2. percentage = 46.875% = 46.88%

Explanation:

Given;

Cost price = Rs425 per sweater

Number of sweaters = 18

Total gain = Rs 6,750

Total cost price = cost price × number of sweaters

Total cost price = 18 × Rs425 = Rs 7,650

Total sales price = total gain + total cost price

Total sales price = Rs 6,750 + Rs 7,650

Total sales price = Rs 14,400

Sales price (per sweater) = Rs 14,400/18 = Rs 800 per sweater

Profit percentage = total gain/total sales price × 100%

Profit percentage = Rs 6,750/Rs 14,400 × 100%

Profit percentage = 46.875% = 46.88%
