Answer 1

Answer:

$\sf\fbox\red{Answer:-}$

cost price of 50 pencils = 80

selling price of 40 pencils =₹90

Then, selling price of one pencil

= 90/40 2.25

selling price of 50 pencils =2.25x50= 112.50

As, SP is more, we have profit.

Then, Profit = sp-cp

= 112.50 - 80

= 32.50

So, profit%= 32.50/80 ×100 = 325/8%
