To find the profit on each pair of trousers, we first need to calculate the cost price of each pair.
The trader bought 50 pairs of trousers for a total of 1,500 naira, so the cost price per pair would be:
Cost price per pair = Total cost / Number of pairs
Cost price per pair = 1,500 naira / 50 pairs = 30 naira
Next, we can calculate the profit on each pair of trousers by subtracting the cost price per pair from the selling price per pair:
Profit per pair = Selling price per pair - Cost price per pair
Profit per pair = 45 naira - 30 naira = 15 naira
Therefore, the trader's profit on each pair of trousers is 15 naira.
A trader bought 50 pairs of trouser for 1,500 naira and sold each pair for 45 naira what is his profit on each pair of the trousers question marks
