Answer 1

$\ 100$

8) Considering that 1 balloon is $12, and his profit was $2, we can write out the following considering that He earned today $600

$\frac{600}{12}=50$

Dividing the total he earned by the price of 1 balloon he sold we've got 50 balloons.

8.2) if for each balloon he made a profit of $2, then we can write out:

$50\times2=\ 100$

So he earned $100 rupees
