Question

a shopkeeper buys pencil at ₹1.50 for each and an equal number of pens for ₹2.25 each of he sells both at ₹2 each what is is gain or loss per cent ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cp of pencil = 1.5

cp of pen = 2.25

cp of both = 1.5+2.25 = 3.75

sp of both = 2+2 =4

gain% = sp-cp/cp ×100

=(4-3.75)/3.75 ×100 = 0.25/3.75 ×100

= 6.67%
