Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the selling price be x

Total pens left

80 — 20

Loss (Rs)

$\frac{5}{100} \times 30 = \frac{3}{2} = \: 1.5 \: rs$

Selling price = Cost price — Loss

x = 30 — 1.5

28.5 = 30 — 1.5

Thus the correct answer is 28.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P. of 12 gel Pens-C.P. of 12 gel pens= S.P. of 4 gel pens

⇒ C.P. of 12 gel pens=S.p. of 8 gel pens

Let the S.P. of 1 gel pen = Rs. 1. then

C.P. of 12 gel pesn= Rs. 8

S.P. of 12 gel pesn= Rs. 12

∴ Gian= Rs. 12- Rs. 8= Rs. 4
