The correct Answer is:
To find the average profit percentage of the Modern electronic shop, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the quantities and profit percentages - The shop sold **30% hardware** at a **profit of 50%**. - The shop sold **90% software** at a **profit of 10%**. ### Step 2: Convert percentages to a common scale - For simplicity, let's assume the total sales amount is 100 units. - Therefore, the quantities sold are: - Hardware: 30 units - Software: 90 units ### Step 3: Calculate the total profit from each category - Profit from hardware: \[ \text{Profit from hardware} = \text{Quantity of hardware} \times \text{Profit percentage of hardware} = 30 \times 50\% = 30 \times 0.5 = 15 \text{ units} \] - Profit from software: \[ \text{Profit from software} = \text{Quantity of software} \times \text{Profit percentage of software} = 90 \times 10\% = 90 \times 0.1 = 9 \text{ units} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total profit - Total profit from both hardware and software: \[ \text{Total profit} = \text{Profit from hardware} + \text{Profit from software} = 15 + 9 = 24 \text{ units} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total quantity sold - Total quantity sold: \[ \text{Total quantity} = \text{Quantity of hardware} + \text{Quantity of software} = 30 + 90 = 120 \text{ units} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the average profit percentage - The average profit percentage can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Average profit percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Total profit}}{\text{Total quantity}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Average profit percentage} = \left( \frac{24}{120} \right) \times 100 = 20\% \] ### Final Answer The average profit percentage of the Modern electronic shop is **20%**. ---
