c.p of 16 items find the profit percentage

Answer 1

Let the C.P of 1 pen be Rs.1

Therefore,

The C.P of 16 pens = Rs. 16

Given,

C.P of 16 pens= S.P of 12 pens.

So, S.P of 12 pens = Rs.16

Selling Price of 1 pen = Rs. 1.33

Gain= Rs. 0.33

Gain percent= Gain x 100/C.P %

  = 0.33 x 100/1 %

  = 33%

Therefore, the gain percent is 33%
