Explanation:

Given:  

A bookseller buys 500 pencil at rupees 4 each he sells 300 of them at rupees 5 each and the rest at rupees 6 each

To find:  

Find his gain percent

Solution:  

He brought 500 pencils at 4 each $=500 \times 4=\mathrm{Rs} .2000$

He sold 300 at Rs.5, $300 \times 5=1500$

Rest of the pencils = 500 – 300= 200 were sold at 6 rupees each, $=200 \times 6=1200$

The total pencils were sold at = 1500 + 1200 = 2700.

He gained 700 rupees, hence $2000 \times \frac{x}{100}=700$

x = 35%
