Question #279404


Ryan buys some jumpers to sell on a stall.

He spends £160 buying 60 jumpers.

He sells 80% of the jumpers for £12 each.

He then puts the rest of the jumpers on a Buy one get one half price offer.

He manages to sell half the remaining jumpers using this offer.

How much profit does Ryan make?


Expert's answer

Return from 80% of jumpers sold for 12 each: 60∗0.8∗12=576.60*0.8*12=576.

Remaining jumpers: 60−60∗0.8=12.60-60*0.8=12.

From these jumpers 12∗0.5=612*0.5=6 were sold.

From 6 jumpers 3 were sold for 12 and 3 for 12∗0.5=6.12*0.5=6.

Total return: 576+3∗12+3∗6=630.576+3*12+3*6=630.

Total profit: 630−160=470.630-160=470.
