Detailed Solution & Logic
18.75%
Cost of 12 pairs of shoes = ₹22,400
Overhead expenses = ₹1,600
Total Cost Price (CP)
CP = 22400 + 1600 = ₹24000
Total Selling Price (SP) = ₹28,500
Profit
Profit = 28500 - 24000 = ₹4500
Profit Percentage
Profit % = $ \frac{4500}{24000} \times 100 = 18.75% $
Answer = 18.75%
