• In the entire transaction, the trader realised not only the money he invested on the cost price of the articles but also a decent profit of cost price of 33 pens.
  
  So,
  S.P of each pen * 99 = C.p of each pen * 99 + C.P of 33 pens
  S.P of each pen : C.P of each pen = 4 : 3
  So, profit percentage = 1/3 = 33.33%
