What was the dealer's approximate profit or loss as a percent of the dealer's initial cost for the 60 cameras?
A.7% loss
B.13% loss
C.7% profit
D.13% profit
E.15% profit
One approach is to assign a nice value of $100 to the initial cost per camera.
This means the 60 cameras cost $6000 to buy.

54 cameras were sold at a 20% markup and 6 cameras were sold at a 50% markdown.
So, 54 cameras were sold for $120, and 6 cameras were sold for $50.
(54)($120) + (6)($50) = $6780
So, the cameras were sold for $6780

This represents a profit of $780

If the initial cost was $6000, we must determine the percentage equivalent to $780/$6000

$780/$6000 = 78/600 = 13/100 = 13%

Answer = D
