Answer 1

Answer:

Given

Total no . of pens = 2

SP of 2 pens each = 300

Total SP = 300×2 = 600 ( Additional information)

Given :- profit % = loss %

Loss % = 6.25% ; so Profit % is also = 6.25 %

Find :- Difference between CP of both pen....

Solution :-

CP when loss occurred = (SP×100) /(100-loss %)

= (300×100) / (100- 6.25)

= 30000 / 93.75

= 29906.25

CP when profit occurred = (SP× 100) /100+profit %)

= (300× 100)/ (100 +6.25 % )

= 30000 / 106.25

= 29893.75

Difference of both CP = 29906.25 - 29893.75

= 12.5
