The solution to this problem can be found by understanding the cost price and selling price of the pens.

  1. Let's assume the cost of each pen is 1.Therefore,thecostof20penswouldbe1. Therefore, the cost of 20 pens would be 20.

  2. Ravi sold 16 pens for $20 (since he sold them at the cost price of 20 pens).

  3. The actual cost for 16 pens would be 16(sinceeachpencosts16 (since each pen costs 1).

  4. Therefore, Ravi made a profit of 4(4 (20 - 16=16 = 4).

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