A dealer sold two t shirt for Rs24000 each

so, total selling price be 24000 + 24000 = 48000

gaining 20% one t shirt
so profit = 24000 + 20% of 24000 = 24000+ 0.2×24000 = 24000 + 4800 = 28800

losing 20% on the other
so loss = 24000 - 20% of 24000 = 24000 - 4800 = 19200

so total transaction = 28800+19200 = 48000

so there is no profit or loss

tumpar34pc8vxh: but in the answer it is written net loss 4%

tumpar34pc8vxh: but thanks

sibhiamar: sorry i take 24000 as cost price for each shirt

sibhiamar: if gain and loss have same percentage value then use this formula:
profit or loss = (a/10)²
where a = gain or loss percentage

so, loss = (20/10)²= 4

tumpar34pc8vxh: ok

sibhiamar: sorry for the mistake

ashish434: wrong

ashish434: 4%ans

sibhiamar: yes i made a mistake see the above conversation
