Question

10. If the cost price of 6 pens is equal to the selling price of 5 pens, find the profit percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it's 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

cp × 6 = sp × 5

sp/cp = 6/5

subtracting 1 on both sides then multiplying by 100 for finding percentage

(sp - cp)/cp × 100 = (6-5)/5 × 100

profit percentage = 1/5 × 100

= 20%

Answer 2

Answer:

20 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost of 1 pen= Rs. x

cost of 6 pens= Rs.6x

cost of 5 pens= Rs.5x

selling price of 5 pens= Rs.6x

profit on 5 pens=6x-5x=x

percent profit=x÷5x×100=20 percent

hence snwer is 20 percent
