Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Cost}}\,{\text{Price}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{toy}} \cr & = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{{375}}{{12}}} \right) = Rs.\,31.25 \cr & {\text{Selling}}\,{\text{Price}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{1}}\,{\text{toy}}\, = \,Rs.\,33 \cr & {\text{So,}}\,{\text{Gain}}\, = \,Rs.\,\left( {33 - 31.25} \right) = Rs.\,1.75 \cr & \therefore {\text{Profit}}\,\% = \left( {\frac{{1.75}}{{31.25}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{28}}{5}\% = 5.6\% \, \cr} $$
