Question

4 pen ka selling price 3pen ke cost price ke equal hai . find tha profit/loss percentage?

Answer 1

Let the cost price of 1 pen be x

Find the Selling Price of 1 pen:

4 pens = 3x

1 pen = 3/4 x

Find the profit / loss:

Cost Price > Selling Price => It is a loss

Loss = x - 3/4 x = 1/4 x

Find the loss percentage:

Loss percentage = loss/cost price x 100

Loss percentage = (1/4 x ÷ x ) x 100 = 25%

Answer: The pens were sold at a loss of 25%
