Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

❅ $\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :$

• CP of 11 pencils = SP of 10 pencils

❅ $\underline{ \underline{ \text{To \: find}}}:$

• Gain percent or loss percent

✻ $\underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}} :$

$\sf{CP\: of \: 1 \: pencil = x \: ( \: suppose})$

$\sf{CP \: of \: 11 \: pencils = 11x}$

$\sf{SP \: of \: 10 \: pencils = 11x}$ { Since CP of 15 articles is equal to SP of 12 )

$\sf{SP \: of \: 1 \: pencil = \frac{11}{10} x}$

Here , SP > CP. So, He / she made a profit.

$\boxed{ \sf{Profit = SP - CP}}$

⟿ $\sf{ \frac{11}{10} x - x}$

⟿ $\sf{ \frac{11x - 10x}{10}}$

⟿ $\sf{ \frac{x}{10} }$

Now , Finding the profit percentage :

$\boxed{ \sf{Profit\% \: = \frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100\%}}$

⟿ $\sf{ \frac{ \frac{x}{10} }{x} } \times 100\%$

⟿$\sf{ \frac{x}{10} \times \frac{1}{x} \times 100\%}$

⟿ $\sf{ \frac{ \cancel{x}}{10} \times \frac{1}{ \cancel{x} } \times 100\%}$

⟿ $\sf{ \frac{1}{10} \times 100\%}$

⟿ $\boxed{ \sf{10\%}}$

$\purple{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{⇢Our \: final \: answer : 10\% \: \: profit}}}}$
