  • Right answer should be 24%br / br /strongExplanation: /strongbr / br /Let CPT (total) = 6000/- br /Therefore, cost of half of goods CP1= 3000/-   and of  other half goods = CP2= 3000/- br /So, SP1=3000 × 1.12 = 3360/-    and      SPT= 6000 × 1.18 = 7080/- br /Thus, SP2= 7080 – 3360 = 3720/- br /Profit % = [(3720 - 3000) / (3000)] * 100 = 24%
