Question

A farmer bought two cows @ 15000 each. He sold one at gain 6 percent and the other at a loss of 5 percent . Find overall loss or gain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Overall gain = (6/100)×(15000) - (5/100)×(15000)

= 900 - 750.

= ₹150.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first cow,

gain = 6 ÷ 100 × 15000 = 900 + 15000 = 15900

for the second cow,

loss = 5 ÷ 100 × 15000 = 15000 - 750 = 14250

total cost of buying the cows = 15000 + 15000 = 30000

total cost gained while selling = 15900 + 14250 = 30150

overall gain = 30150 - 30000 = 150
