Solution:

The ratio of Total Revenue to Total cost for Air transport =

{10\R}/{11\C}

Where R is the Revenue Generated of the company.
C is the Total Cost of the company.
So Total Revenue / Total Cost, for couriers sent through Air transport

= {10}/{11} × 1.2=1.0909

Hence, the profit% for couriers sent through Air transport = 9.09%
