Answer 2

Answer:

1.23%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that some pencils, let's say 100 pencils, were brought at 0.25 rupee per pencil. So, 25 rupees were invested to buy those pencils. It is also given that another set of 100 pencils was brought at 0.20 rupee per pencil. So, 20 rupees were invested to buy those pencils. All the pencils were sold at 2/9 rupees per pencil. So, (200 * 2) / 9 = 44.44 rupees were earned after selling all those pencils. It is loss of 0.556 rupees. And the loss percent = (0.556 * 100) / 45 = 0.0123 * 100 = 1.23% .
