Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Let Total Cost Price and Sale Price be Rs. 100.

For 5 Pen Cost Price is Rs. 100

So, 1 Pen Cost Price is Rs. 100/5 = Rs. 20

For 4 Pen Selling Price is Rs. 100

So, 1 Pen Selling Price is Rs. 100/4 = Rs. 25

Hence, Total sale price for 5 Pen is Rs. 25x5 = Rs. 125

Profit will be Selling Price - Cost Price

= 125 - 100 = Rs. 25

Profit %age = 25/100X100 = 25%
