Question

a businessman sold two computer set rupees 20000 each on one he made 6 % gain and the other a loss of 8% find his overall gain or loss​

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss of ₹607.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of each computer set = ₹ 20,000

Profit percentage on first set = 6%

Loss percentage on second set = 8%

Let the cost price of first set be = ₹x

Profit = 6x/100

Now,

⇒ x + 6x/100 = 20,000

⇒ 106x = 20,00,000

⇒ x = 20,00,000/106

       = 18,868 (approx.)

And the cost price of second set be = ₹y

Loss = 8y/100

Now,

⇒ y - 8y/100 = 20,000

⇒ 92y = 20,00,000

⇒ y = 20,00,000/92

      = 21,739 (approx.)

Total cost price = ₹ (21,739 +  18,868)

                          = ₹ 40,607

Total selling price = ₹ 40,000

Loss = S.P. - C.P.

        = ₹ 607
