Answer 1

Answer:

183.6

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P=6×25.50=153.00(153)

profit =20%

profit =20%of 153

=20/100×153=30.6

S.P of pen=C.P+profit

=153+30.6

=183.6

Answer 2

The selling price of each pen is Rs. 36.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pens = 6

Cost of each pen = Rs. 25.50

Total cost price would be

$25.50\times 6 = 153$

so, the profit % = 20%

So, Selling price of each pen

$\dfrac{100+20}{100}\times 153\\\\=\dfrac{120}{100}\times 153\\\\=1.2\times 153\\\\=183.6$

So, Selling price of each pen would be

$\dfrac{183.6}{5}=36.72$

Hence, the selling price of each pen is Rs. 36.72.
