Question

If the cost price of 5 pens is equal to selling price of 4 pens. Find the profit or loss percentage.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit% is 25%.

Let the cost of 1 pen be Re.1

Cost of 5 pens Rs.5

Cost of 4 pens = Rs.4

Selling price of 4 pens = Cost price of 5 pens

Selling price of 4 pens=Rs.5

SP>CP

So, profit

Profit%= SPGP x 100

5-4 Profit% = 4 x 100

Profit% = 25%

Hence The profit% is 25%.
