Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathbb {SOLUTION:-}$

$\underline \mathsf \red {Given\:condition\:is\: :-}$

(SP of 8 dozen pencils) - (CPof 8 dozen pencils) = SP of 1 dozen pencils.

Therefore,SP of 7 dozen pencils = CP of 8 dozen pencils

Let,CP of per dozen pencils be Rs.10.

Then, CP of 7 dozen pencils = Rs.70.

And, SP of 7 dozen pencils = Rs.80.

$\implies \mathsf {Gain\:per\:cent = \bigg(\frac{10}{70}\times 100\bigg)\% = {14\ \frac{2}{7}\%} }$
