Question

The selling price of 12 pens is equal to the cost price of 15 pens. find his gain percent

Answer 1

Hlw mate!!


Let the CP of each pen be Rs.x.

Then,

CP of 12 pens=Rs.12

SP of 12 pens=CP of 15 pnes=Rs.15

now,gain=SP-CP=Rs.(15-12)=Rs.3

gain%=gain/cp*100

         =(3/12*100)%=25%

Hence,the gain=25%.
