Question

five pens are bought for rs 62and sold for rs 13.60 each. find the profit made​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pens are bought at 12 for a rupee sold at 9 for a rupee. Find the gain or loss %.

Pens are bought of 12 for a rupee

Cost price(c.p) of the 12 pens=Re. 1

Cost price (c.p) of 1 pen=Rs. 121

Now,

Selling price(s.p) of 9 pens=Re. 1

Selling price(s.p) of 1 pen=Rs. 91

Gain=s.p−c.p

=Rs. [91−121]

=Rs. [364−3]=Rs. 361

Gain%=c.pGain×100=121361×100=3612×100

=3100

=33.33%.
