Question

ritika bought 10 pencils at state of Rs 2 each, I and she sold them at Rs 6 for 2 pencils. what is her profit ​

Answer 1

hi there!!!

Solution:

here,

total cost price= number of pencils× price for one pencil

= 10×2

= 20/-

now,

total selling price= number of pencils sold× price for one pencil..... (1)

now,

6 rupees for2 pencils,

then for 10 pencils,

2= 6

10= x............ direct variation.

2x=60

x= 60/2= 30

hence,

10 pencils are sold at a price of 30 rupees

from (1),

hence,

selling price< cost price

therefore,

profit= selling price- cost price

profit= 30-20

= 10/-

hope this helps!!! ☺❤✌
