Step-by-step explanation:
let CP pe x then
cp of 6 pens is 6x
sp of 10pens =6x
sp of one pen =.6x
therefore loss=cp-sp=x-0.6x=0.4x
profit%=0.4x/x *100=40%

Answer:let the SP and CP of the pen be x and y respectively
thus 10x=6y
thus x/y=6/10
x<y
SP<CP
Hence there is loss
loss%= {(CP-SP)/CP}*100
LOSS % ={(y-x)/y}*100
={(y/y)-(x/y)}*100
={(y/y)-(6/10)}*100
={(10/10)-(6/10)}*100
=(4/10)*100
=40% (answer)
