Solution

Step 1: Let's assume the cost price of each pen is 1.So,thecostpricefor46pensis1. So, the cost price for 46 pens is 46.

Step 2: The man buys 50 pens for the price of 46 pens. So, the cost price for 50 pens is also $46.

Step 3: The selling price of each pen is reduced by 1%. So, the selling price of each pen is 11 - 0.01 = $0.99.

Step 4: The total selling price for 50 pens is 50 * 0.99=0.99 = 49.5.

Step 5: The profit is the selling price minus the cost price, which is 49.549.5 - 46 = $3.5.

Step 6: The profit percentage is (profit / cost price) * 100, which is (3.5/3.5 / 46) * 100 = 7.6%.

So, the profit percentage is 7.6%.
