Question

Ramesh bought 250 pens at one rupee each and sold them at the rate of Rs 4 for5.
Find his gain or loss percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

20% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost price of pens at 1 rs per pen = 250

5 pens sold at rs 4 so cost of one pen = 4/5 rs

cost of 250 pens = 250 multiplied by 4/5 = 200 rs

Cost price = 250rs

Selling price = 200 rs

Loss =C.p - S.p

250-200 = 50 rs

loss% = 20%

$\frac{l}{cp} \times 100 \\ \frac{50}{250} \times 100 \\ \\ 2 \times 10 = 20\%$
