Question

5) A shopkeeper sold 2 fans at Rs. 1200 each. In this dealing
he got 20% profit on one fan and 20% loss on another.
What is the total profit or loss percent in the entire
dealing?​

Answer 1

Answer:

LOSS=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp of one fan= 1200

Let the Cp be x

A.T.P.

x+20%x=1200

=x+x/5=1200

=6x=1200×5

=x=1000

Let the cp of another fan be n

A.T.P.

n‐20%n=1200

=4n=1200×5

=n=1500

:.Total CP =1000+1500=2500

:.Total SP=1200+1200=2400

since CP is more than SP there is a loss

:.loss=2500‐2400=100
