Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original C.P of goods be Rs100

MP = 100 + 12%of 100 = Rs112

Discounted price

= 112 - 12% of 112 = 112 - 12×112/100

= Rs98.56

Loss = 100 - 98.56 = Rs1.44

Loss% = 1.44×100/100 = 1.44%

SECOND METHOD:

Use +ve sign for increase/higher, and -ve sign for discount/decrease.

Let a = 12 ,b = - 12

%change = a + b + (ab/100)

= 12 - 12 + [12×(-12)/100)

= 12 - 12 - (144/100)

= - 1.44 %

-ve sign means loss .

hence his loss = 1.44%
