Answer 1

Answer:

Profit = S.P - C.P

Profit = 18 - 12

Profit = Rs. 6

Now finding profit percentage:

Gain% = Gain/C.P × 100%

Gain% = 6/12 × 100%

Gain% = 1/2 × 100%

Gain% = 100/2 %

Gain% = 50%

So the percentage of profit or gain obtained by the shopkeeper = 50%

Answer 2

The profit percentage obtained by the shopkeeper is

GIVEN:  Cost of pen = 12; Shopkeeper sold it at a price =18

TO FIND: Profit percentage
SOLUTION:

The cost price of a pen = 12

A shopkeeper sold it at a price = of 18

Profit on a pen = Selling Price - Cost Price

                        = 18 - 12

                         = 6

To calculate the profit percentage we will use the formulae  $\frac{Profit }{Cost Price}$  ×   100

Profit percentage = $\frac{6}{12}$ × 100

                             = 50%

The percentage of profit earned by the shopkeeper is 50%.

The percentage of profit earned by the shopkeeper is 50%.
