Solution
The solution to this problem can be found by understanding the cost price and selling price of the pens.
-
Let's assume the cost of each pen is 20.
-
Ravi sold 16 pens for $20 (since he sold them at the cost price of 20 pens).
-
The actual cost for 16 pens would be 1).
-
Therefore, Ravi made a profit of 20 - 4).
-
The profit percentage can be calculated as (Profit / Cost price) * 100. So, (4 / 16) * 100 = 25%.
So, the correct answer is "25% profit".
