Solution

The answer is 25% profit. Here's the step by step solution:

  1. Ravi sold 16 pens at the cost of 20 pens. This means that the cost of 16 pens is equal to the selling price of 20 pens.

  2. Let's assume the cost of one pen is 1.Therefore,thecostof16pensis1. Therefore, the cost of 16 pens is 16.

  3. But Ravi sold 16 pens for the price of 20 pens. So, the selling price of 16 pens is $20.

  4. The profit made by Ravi is the selling price minus the cost price, which is 2020 - 16 = $4.

  5. The profit percentage is calculated as (Profit/Cost price) * 100. So, the profit percentage is (4/4/16) * 100 = 25%.

So, Ravi made a 25% profit.
