Question

Tom bought a pen for $60 and sold it to gain 20% on his cost price. How
much money did he gain?​

Answer 1

Answer:

72$

Step-by-step explanation:

20%=.2

60x.2=12

60+12=72

OR

60x1.2=72

Basically you are finding 20% of the original price (in this case 60) and then adding that 20% to the original number so you will make a 20% profit.
