Question

A shopkeeper bought 108 pens at rs 25 per dozen and rs 2 each what was his profit or loss

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss of nine rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

If shopkeeper bought 108 pens at 25 rupees per dozen

His cost price for 108 pens will be 225 rupees

If he sold them at 2 rupees for each pen his selling price for 108 pens will be 108 * 2 = 216

Loss = C.P - S.P = 225 - 216 = 9 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

it is a loss.because 108 ÷ 12=9 X 25=225

c.p =225 s.p=108 X 2=216

so, 225 is greater than 216

225-216=9

hence there is a loss of 9 rupees
