Question

The cost price of 6 pencils is equal to the selling price of 5 pencils.find the profit percent

Answer 1

(c. p. of 6 pencils=s.p. of 5 pencils) =Rs 100
cp of 1 pencil = 100/6= Rs 16.75
sp of 1 pencil = 100/5= Rs 20
profit = 20-16.75=3.25
profit %= 3.25/16.75*100%=......ans.......

Answer 2

Let the CP of 1 pencil = Rs.100

So the CP of 6 pencil = Rs.(6 x 100) = Rs. 600

SP of 5 pencil = Rs.600 (A/Q)

So, SP of 1 pencil = Ra.9600/5) = Rs. 120

Then,

Profit = SP-CP = Rs.(120-100) = Rs. 20

Profit% = Profit/CP x 100

Profit% = (20/100 x 100) %= 20%
