Answer 2

Answer:

First, let's find the price of the 500 dot pens.

500 X 13 = ₹6500

Now, let's find the cost of 300 dot pens.

300 X 13 = ₹3900

Next, we have to find the cost at which the dealer sold the 300 dot pens.

100% + 15% = 115%

100% = ₹3900

1% = ₹3900 ÷ 100

    = ₹39

115% = ₹39 X 115

       = ₹4485

Therefore, the dealer sold the 300 dot pens at ₹4485, with a 15% profit.

Now, let's find the cost of 200 dot pens.

200 X 13 = ₹2600

Next, we have to find the cost at which the dealer sold the remaining 200 dot pens.

100% + 10% = 110%

100% = ₹2600

1% = ₹2600 ÷ 100

    = ₹26

110% = ₹26 X 110

        = ₹2860

Therefore, the dealer sold the 200 dot pens at ₹2860, with a 10% profit.

15% + 10% = 25%

₹4485 + ₹2860 = ₹7345

The dealer sold the 500 dot pens at ₹7345, with a 25% profit.
