Question

the cost price of 10 pencils is the selling price of 8 pencils what is the profit percentage

Answer 1

Let the cost price of 1 pencil be 1 rupee.

Given that there are 10 pencils. Therefore the cost price of 10 pencils = 10 rupees.

The cost price of 8 pencils = 8 rupees.

Then the selling price of 8 pencils = 10 rupees.

Therefore Gain = 10 - 8 = 2.


We know that Gain% = Gain/CP * 100

                                    = 2/8 * 100

                                   = 25%.


Therefore the profit percentage = 25%.

Hope this helps!
