Answer 2

Answer:

Q)An article is purchased for Rs. 450 and sold for Rs. 500. Find the gain percent.

Solution:

Gain = SP – CP = 500 – 450 = 50.

Gain% = (50/450)*100 = 100/9%

Here in the above case both the things are mentioned selling price and cost price hence we can find profit.

I am now explaining your question

in that a shopkeeper sold you 8 pens for ₹10

You must notice that shopkeeper has to buy it from someone then he sells it to you or any people.But the price with which the shopkeeper buy it from someone is less than with which he sells you.

Hence we need to know the cost price means the price at which the shopkeeper buy. the pen.

Then by subtracting

Selling Price from Cost price we will get our profit in price

Profit%=profit/cp*100
