Question

A shopkeeper bought a pen for ₹75, a book for ₹240 and a pencil box for ₹46. He sold the pen for ₹81, book for ₹255 and the pencil box for ₹40. What was his gain or loss?

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Given: Cost Price (CP) of pen = ₹75 Cost Price (CP) of book = ₹240 Cost Price (CP) of pencil box = ₹46 ∴ The total Cost Price(CP) = 75 + 240 + 46 = ₹361 Selling Price of pen = ₹81 Selling Price of book = ₹255 Selling Price of pencil box = ₹40 ∴ The total Selling Price(SP) = 81 + 255 + 40 = ₹376 Since SP is greater than CP, it is a gain. Gain = SP - CP Gain = 376 - 361 = 15 [Substituting the values of total SP and total CP] ∴ The shopkeeper gains ₹15
