Answer 1

Answer:

Question ⤵⤵

the cost price of 12 pens is equal to the the selling price of 18 pens find gain or loss percent

Answers ⤵⤵

here ,

CP of 12 pens = SP of 18 pens [ Given]

So , let CP of one pen be rupees 1

therefore , CP of 12 pens => 12× 1 = 12

Now ,

SP of 18 pens = 12 rupees [ Given ]

therefore , CP of 18 pens is = 18 rupees

So , its clear that there's a loss

Loss = CP - SP

= 18 - 12

= 6 rupees

Now ,

loss percent = 100 × loss / cost price

= 100 × 6 / 18

= 100 × 1 / 3

= 33.33 (bar) percent. [ answer ]
