A shopkeeper bought 100 pens at Rs 10 each. He sold 60 pens at 20% profit and the rest at 10% loss. What is the overall profit or loss percentage?
एक दुकानदार ने 100 पेन ₹10 प्रति पेन की दर से खरीदी। उसने 60 पेन 20% लाभ पर बेचे और शेष पेन 10% हानि पर बेचे। कुल मिलाकर लाभ या हानि का प्रतिशत कितना होगा?
Detailed Solution & Logic
8% profit/ 8% लाभ
Cost price of 1 pen = Rs 10
Number of pens = 100
Total cost price = $100 \times 10 = 1000$
60 pens sold at 20% profit:
Selling price per pen = $10 + 20% \text{ of } 10 = 10 + 2 = 12$
Total selling price = $60 \times 12 = 720$
40 pens sold at 10% loss:
Selling price per pen = $10 - 10% \text{ of } 10 = 10 - 1 = 9$
Total selling price = $40 \times 9 = 360$
Total selling price = 720 + 360 = 1080
Profit = Total SP - Total CP = 1080 - 1000 = 80
Overall profit percentage = $\frac{80}{1000} \times 100 = 8%$
✅ Answer: 8% profit
