Question

Judd bought a pack of pencils and sold it for 10% profit. Write an expression for the selling price.
1.1x
11x
110x
110

Answer 1

To find the selling price of the pack of pencils sold at a 10% profit, we can denote the cost price as \( x \).

If Judd sells the pack of pencils for 10% profit, the selling price can be calculated as:

\[
\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \text{Profit}
\]

The profit would be 10% of the cost price, which can be expressed as:

\[
\text{Profit} = 0.10 \times x = 0.1x
\]

Therefore, the selling price becomes:

\[
\text{Selling Price} = x + 0.1x = 1x + 0.1x = 1.1x
\]

So, the correct expression for the selling price is:

**1.1x**

Thus, the correct answer from the provided options is **1.1x**.
