20% loss, let we assume cost price of 1 pen is 1 rupee,
then cost price of 10 pens =10,
and selling price of 10 pens=8(cost price of 8 pens),
so loss =2 rupee,
loss%=(<loss/cost>*100)%
=2/10*100=20%

Let x = prize of the notebook
Let y = selling prize of the note book
Then,
8 * x = 10 * y ; y = 0,8 x
Therefore , we experiment a loss of 20%
