Heya...
Here is your answer ---

Number of pens bought = 15 dozen = 12×15 = 180 pens
Cost Price = Rs.10 per dozen = 10×15 = Rs.150
Cost price for 1 pen = 180/150 = 60/50 = 6/5 = Rs. 1.2
Selling Price for 1 pen = Rs. 1.50

SP>CP
Gain = SP-CP = 1.5-1.2 = 0.3
Gain% = Gain/CP × 100 = 0.3/1.2 × 100 = 25%

HOPE IT HELPS. ...!!

chetan2u: hi you are wrong in finding price per pen ..

MansiGarg1111: where?

chetan2u: it will not be 180/150 but 150/180 = 5/6..........
