Answer 2

Answer:

cost price of 400 pens is Rs 10×400=Rs 4000

he lost 25 pens

now he has (400-25)pens=375 pens

he spent Rs 50 for searching the pens

so cost of pens Rs(4000+50)=Rs 4050

selling price of 375 pens is Rs (375×12)

=Rs 4500

so gain Rs (4500-4050)=Rs 450

profit percentage= 450×100/4050%

=450×10/405 %

=450×2/81%

=50×2/9 %

=100/9 %

. = 11.11%
