Answer 1

Heya!!!

Here is your answer
$as \: per \: the question\: \\ \\ cp \: of \: 16 \: pens \: = 18x \\ \\ sp \: of \: 18 \: pens\: = 16x \\ \\ here \: cp > sp \: so \: loss \: \: occurs \\ \\ loss = cp - sp \\ \\ = 18x - 16x \\ \\ = 2x \\ \\ loss\% = \frac{loss}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{2x}{18x} \times 100 \\ \\ = 11.11\% \: loss$
Hope it helps ⭐⭐❤❤
