Question

4. Abuzar purchased 120 pencils at the rate of Rs.2 per
pencil. He sold 72 of them at the rate of Rs.2.5 per
pencil and the remaining at the rate of Rs.2 per pencil.
Find his profit or loss percent.​

Answer 1

total cost of 120 pencils =120×rup.2

=240 rupees

he sold 72 pencils at the rate of Rs.2.5

=72×2.5

=Rs.180~(1)

remaining pencils

=120-72

=48 pencils

He sold 48 pencils at the rate of Rs.2

=48×2

= Rs.96~(2)

Total cost after selling all pencils

Adding (1) and (2)

=Rs.180+Rs.96

=Rs.276

profit =S.P.-C.P.

=276-180

=Rs.96
