Answer» (i) Number of pens bought = 16(12) = 192 Let S.P of one pen be Rs. x Therefore, S.P of 192 pens = 192x C.P of 8 pens = Rs. 8X It is given that S.P of 8 pens is equal to the loss on SELLING 192 pens. Therefore, loss= Rs.8x C.P of 192 pens = Rs 576 Loss = C.P –S.P = 8x = 576 – 192x200 = 576 x = 576200 =x= 2.88 Therefore, loss= RS.23.04 Loss% = 4% (II) P of 1 pen = Rs.2.88 Therefore, S.P of 1 dozen pens = 12x = 12(2.88) = Rs.34.56 (i) Number of pens bought = 16(12) = 192 Let S.P of one pen be Rs. x Therefore, S.P of 192 pens = 192x C.P of 8 pens = Rs. 8x It is given that S.P of 8 pens is equal to the loss on selling 192 pens. Therefore, loss= Rs.8x C.P of 192 pens = Rs 576 Loss = C.P –S.P = 8x = 576 – 192x200 = 576 x = 576200 =x= 2.88 Therefore, loss= RS.23.04 Loss% = 4% (ii) P of 1 pen = Rs.2.88 Therefore, S.P of 1 dozen pens = 12x = 12(2.88) = Rs.34.56 |
