Mymoena buys pens for R3,20 each and then sells them for R5,60 each. What perceet profit does she make? A supermarket decides to give a \( 33 \frac{1}{3} \% \) discount on all food items. A bag of tomel originally sold for R18. What will the

To find Mymoena's percent profit, we first calculate her profit per pen. Selling price is R5.60 and the cost price is R3.20. So, Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = R5.60 - R3.20 = R2.40. To find the percent profit, we use the formula: (Profit/Cost Price) x 100. Thus, (R2.40/R3.20) x 100 = 75%. Mymoena makes a whopping 75% profit on each pen sold! For the supermarket’s discount on the bag of tomatoes, we first need to calculate \( 33 \frac{1}{3} \% \) of R18. This can be expressed as R18 x (1/3) = R6. Thus, the discount amount is R6. To find the sale price, we subtract the discount from the original price: R18 - R6 = R12. The bag of tomatoes will be sold for R12 after the discount!
