loss percent if he sold all
the pens?​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

Total number of pens =300

Pens sold at no loss no profit =

4

300

= 75

Pens sold at 20% profit = 300−75=225

Let C.P. of one pen =Rs 1

C.P. of 225 pens =Rs 225

Total Profit =20%of225=

100

20

×225=45

Total S.P. =225+45=270

Now, Including the pens sold at no profit and no loss.

Total CP =225+75=300

Total SP =270+75=345

Profit % =

300

45

×100=15%

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
