Question

the cost price of 16 pens is equal to the selling price of 12 pens. find the gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

33 1/3 percent or 33.33 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP of 16 pens be Rs x

As CP of 16 pens is equal to the SP of 12 pens

Therefore, SP of 12 pens is also Rs x

LCM of 12 and 16 is 48.

CP of 48 pens is x/ 16 multiplied by 48. That equals to 3x

SP od 48 pens is x / 12 multiplied by 48. That equals to 4x

As SP is more than CP, there is profit

Profit is equals to SP - CP

Therefore, 4x - 3x

Equals to x

Profit percentage is profit / CP multiplied by 100

Therefore, x / 3x multiplied by 100

Equals to 100/ 3 or 33 1/3 or 33.33 percentage
