$ANSWER$

$\begin{tabular}[c]{@{}l@{}}</p><p></p><p>C.S ( cost price) of 100 pencil = ₹250\\ \\</p><p></p><p> Let selling price of one pencil ✏ be = x\\</p><p></p><p> \\ Total selling price = 100 x\\ \\ </p><p></p><p>Total less = Selling price of 25\\ \\ </p><p></p><p>Pencil = 25 x\\ \\ 250 - 100 x = 25x\\ \\ 125x = 250\\ \\ x = 2\\ \\</p><p></p><p> TOTAL LESS = 25× 2 = 50°\\ \\</p><p></p><p> REQUIRED LOSS PRESENT = 50 × 100 = 20\% \\ 250\end{tabular}$

C.S ( cost price) of 100 pencil = ₹ 250

Let selling price of one pencil ✏ be = x

Total selling price = 100 x

Total less = Selling price of 25

Pencil = 25 x

250 - 100 x = 25x

125x = 250

x = 2

TOTAL LESS = 25× 2 = 50°

REQUIRED LOSS PRESENT = 50 × 100/250 = 20%
