She then sells each bag of nuts for 75p.
Lucy sells all the bags of nuts.
Work out her percentage profit.

Respuesta :

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm converting 7kg to grams to make it easier. So £10 = 7000g

£1 = 7000÷10 = 700g

700g÷2 = 350g and if you follow the ratios on top, she payed 50p per 350g

She sells a bag of 350g for 75p.

Percentage profit=[tex]\frac{Change in cost}{original cost}[/tex] × 100

75p - 50p = 25p = change in cost

Percentage profit= [tex]\frac{25}{50}[/tex] × 100

= 50%
