Question

A dog worth rs. 8000 is sold by amit to brijesh at 10% loss. brijesh sells the dog back to amit at 10% gain. find gain/ loss % of amit

Answer 1

see amit sold the dog at 10 % loss that means 8000*(90/100)=7200 rs

now brijesh sells dog at 10% gain than 7200*(110/100)= 7920.rs
loss of amit = 7920-7200=720
therefor loss% = (720/8000)*100=9% answer
