Question

the cost of 11 pencil is equal to the selling price of 10 pencils find a loss or profit percent whatever may be the cost of one pencil

Answer 1

Let Cost Price of 1 pencil be 100
Cost of 11 pencils=1100Rs

CP of 11 pencils=SP of 10 pencils

SP of 10 Pencils=1100Rs
Therefor CP of 10 Pencils =10*100
=1000Rs

CP=1000Rs
SP=1100Rs
SP>CP
Therefore..
Profit=SP-CP
= 1100-1000
=100Rs
Profit %=P/CP*100
=100/1000*100
=0.1*100
=10%

Answer 2

Heya friend,

Let the CP of 1 pencil be ₹1. Then,

CP of 11 pencils = ₹11

Given that

CP of 11 pencils = SP of 10 pencils

Then,

CP = ₹10

SP = ₹11

SP > CP = Profit

Profit = SP - CP

= ₹(11 - 10)

= ₹1

Profit % = Profit/CP × 100

= 1/10 × 100

= 10 %




Thanks
