Question

If the sale price of 12 pens is fixed as the original price of 15 pens, then what percentage of profit is earned in the deal?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

LET C.P. OF 1 PEN = X

C.P. OF 15 PENS = 15X

HERE ,

IT IS GIVEN THAT CP OF 15 PENS IS EQUAL TO THE S.P. OF 12 PENS WHICH = 15X

Now C.P. OF 12 PENS IS = 12X

IF SP>CP , THEN ITS PROFIT

PROFIT = SP-CP

= 15X-12X = 3X

PROFIT PERCENTAGE= (PROFIT /CP) * 100 =

3X/12X *100 = 1/4*100 =

25% Gain or Profit
