Answer 2

Given,

• The cost price of a pen = Rs. 20
• The selling price of a pen = Rs. 25

To find,

• We have to find the percentage of gain.

Solution,

We can simply find the percentage of gain by using the following formula:

    Gain% = gain/ cost price * 100

The cost price of a pen = Rs. 20

The selling price of a pen = Rs. 25

   selling price > cost price

Gain = selling price - cost price

        = Rs. 25 - Rs. 20

         = Rs. 5

Gain% = 5/20 * 100

           = 25 %

Hence, Ram bought a pen for Rs. 20 and sold it for Rs. 25 then his percentage of gain is 25%.
