A shopkeeper bought some pencils at rupees 120 per dozen one day a poor boy came to the shopkeeper to buy two pencil but had only rupees 16 the shopkeeper gave him two pencil for rupees 16 find the selling price of pencil find the loss and loss percent of shopkeeper

Answer 1

C.P OF 12 PENCILS = 120 Rs

therefore for 1 pencil C.P = 120/12

=10 Rs

therefore C.P of 2 pencils = 2×10

= 20 Rs

S.P of Two pencils = 16 Rs

Loss = SP - CP

= 20-16

=4 Rs

loss % = Loss/CP ×100

=4/20×100

. =4 ×5

=20% loss
