    Yes, Sanjay made a 20% profit.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Price of a pen bought by Sanjay = x

    Price of packet of 12 pens bought by Sanjay = 12x

    Price of packet of 10 pens sold by Sanjay = 12x

    Price of pen sold by Sanjay = 12x/10 = 1.2x

    Difference between price of pen sold and price of pen purchased = 1.2x - x = 0.2x

    0.2 = 20%

    Therefore, the profit per pen is 20%
