Question

A dealer bought 5 dozen pencil at a rate of 130 per dozen. He sold them making a profit of 25%. Find the SP of each pencil? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

the sp of each pencil is 31%

Step-by-step explanation:

A dealer brought- 5 dozen

rate of 1 dozen - 130 dozen

profit is 25%

selling is?

130×5 =650

so 650+25%=?

25 percent of 650 is 162

so, 650+162=776

so we need to divide the answer with 5 now,

776÷5=155

we got answer 155 now do cancelling with 130/5

so we got answer 130/5 is 13

now

155÷5=31

therefore, the sp of each pencil is 31%
