AI explanation

The invoice price is marked up by 33 and 1/3 percent, making it 4/3 of the cost; 2/3 of the total goods equals 6/10 of the goods sent. The cost price of these 6/10 goods is 6/10 of Rs. 45,000, which is Rs. 27,000, and multiplying by 4/3 gives an invoice price of Rs. 36,000. The goods are sold at 20 percent above this invoice price, so the final sales value is 1.2 multiplied by Rs. 36,000, resulting in Rs. 43,200.
