Answer:

$\red { Selling \:price \: of \: each \:pen}\green{=Rs\:14.70 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Number \: of \: pens \: purchased = 10$

$Cost \:price \:of \: each \:pen = Rs \:12.30$

$Total \: gain = Rs \: 24$

$Profit \: on \: one \: pen = \frac{24}{10} = Rs\:2.40$

$Selling \:price \: of \: each \:pen \\= c.p \:of \: each \:pen + profit \:on \: one \:pen \\= Rs\:12.30+Rs\:2.40\\= Rs \: 14.70$

Therefore.,

$\red { Selling \:price \: of \: each \:pen}\green{=Rs\:14.70 }$
