27 THE SIMPLIFY VALUE OFF pen is being sold at 4 profit instead of 4 loss the actual profit is

Let x be the CP.

(104/100)x - (96/100)x = 16

Solving we get x = Rs.200.

400 rs.
(16/cp)*100 = 4
i.e. cp= 400 rs.

If pen is sold at 4% profit and actual profit is Rs 16,
thyen cost price of pen is Rs 400.
If x is cp, then x*4/100 = 16
x=16*100/4= 400

Cost price=(100/(100+%gain))*SP where SP=selling price and CP is cost price
assume CP=x,then SP=x+16

x=(100/(100+4))*(x+16).......1)
by solving 1) we get
4x=1600
hence x=400 rs.

answer is 192 rupees.
as the pen is being sold at 4% loss of the actual S.P and still earning a profit of 4%. thus
96/100(s.p)=104/100(c.p)
now actual s.p =c.p +16(provided in question)
thus substituting this value and solving we get c.p=192

@mir firoj ali- you are applying
profit=s.p-c.p; rule &
in the last you apply profit%=(profit/c.p)*100;
but you didn't apply profit % you applyed profit.....

directly

4(pecentage profit)=(16/x)*100;
x=400

cp=(100/104)*sp
cp=(100/104)*(cp+gain)
cp=(100/104)*(cp+16)

cp= 400 Rs.
