Question

9. Bunty sold 3 cars for R 5,13,570 each. He
made a profit of 6%, 2% and a loss of 5%
on the three cars, respectively. Find his total
profit or loss percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

profit%=0.79%

loss%=0

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price of all car = 513570*3= 1540710

cost price of car for 6% profit = 513570*100/106= 484500

cost price of car for 2% profit = 513570*100/102= 503500

cost price of car for 5% loss = 513570*100/95= 540600

total cost price of all car =484500+503500+540600= 1528600

so net profit= 1540710 -1528600= 12110

profit% = 12110*100/1528600= 0.7922%
