Question

A shopkeeper buys pens AT the rate of 7 for rs. 5 and sells AT the rate of 5 for 3.what will be the result?​

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\mathtt{\red{ANSWER}}}}$

7 -------------- Rs5

5-------------- Rs 3

35 ------------- 25 (CP)

35 -------------21 (SP)

Loss = 25-21 = Rs 4

Loss% = 4*100/25 = 16% (Ans)

Answer 2

There is a loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Cp of 7 pens = Rs.5

CP of 1 pen =$\frac{5}{7}$

SP of 5 pens = Rs.3

Sp of 1 pen = $\frac{3}{5}$

CP of 1 pen > Sp of 1 pen

So, there is loss

Loss = CP - SP = $=\frac{5}{7}-\frac{3}{5} =\frac{4}{35}$

Hence there is a loss
