Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price of 1 pen is Rs.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suresh sold 20 pens for rupee 160. The loss incurred was equal to cost price of 4 pen.

To find : The cost price of 1 pen?

Solution :

Let the cost price of 1 pen be 'x'.

The cost price of 20 pen be '20x'

The selling price of 20 pen is Rs.160.

The loss incurred was equal to cost price of 4 pen.

i.e. Loss = 4x

We know that,

Loss = Cost price - Selling price

$4x = 20x-160$

$20x-4x=160$

$16x=160$

$x=\frac{160}{16}$

$x=10$

Therefore, The cost price of 1 pen is Rs.10.
