━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ANSWER:-

• Cost of 50 pencils if Gaurav sells each at 4 rupees is 200 rupees.
• Profit of Gaurav is 25%.

GIVEN:-

• Number of pencils bought by Gaurav = 50 pencils
• Cost of 50 pencils = Rs 175
• Selling price of each pencil = 4 rupees

TO FIND:-

• Cost of 50 pencils if 1 pencil cost 40 rupees = ?
• Gaurav's profit = ?

FORMULA:-

$\to\sf{Profit=SP-CP}$

SOLVING BY APPLYING THE FORMULA:-

• If Gaurav sells 1 pencil of 4 rupees then 50 pencil costs = 50 × 4
• Cost of 50 pencils = 200 rupees
• Profit = SP-CP
• His profit = 200 - 175
• His profit is = 25 %

So, profit of Gaurav is 25%.

${\underline{\boxed{\large{\pink{\mathscr{\:More\:Formulae\:}}}}}}$

• Loss = CP-SP
• Profit = SP-CP
• SP when Profit% is given = (100 + Gain%)/100×CP
• SP when Loss% is given = (100 - Loss%)/100×CP
• CP when Profit% is given = 100/(100 + Gain%)×SP
• CP when Loss% is given = 100/(100 - Loss%)×SP
