CP : 11 pencil = $10
SP : 10 pencil = $11
multiply CP by 10 and SP by 11. now you get two equation.
CP : 110 pencil = $100
SP : 110 pencil = $121
profit = 121 - 100 = $21
profit% = (21÷100) × 100 = 21%

Cp of 11 pencil = rupee 10

Sp of 10 pencil= rupee 11


Here ,we can see that the quantity of pen in both the cases of Sp and Cp is different

Hence , we have to equal the quantity


Cp of 110 pencil (11 ×10) = 100 (10 ×10)

Sp of 110 pencil (10 ×11) = 121 (11 ×11 )

Now ,the quantity are same

Since,SP > CP

SO ,there is a profit

Profit = Sp - Cp

=₹121 - ₹100

=₹21

Profit %= P/Cp × 100

=21/100 ×100

=21%
