Question

a farmer bought two cows for rs.15000each. he sold one at a gain of 6% and on the other he incurred a loss of 5%. find the overall gain or loss%

Answer 1

CP of cow 1 = Rs. 15000

Gain = 6 percent = 6/100 * 15000 = 900 rupees

SP = 15,900 rupees

CP of cow 2 = Rs. 15000

Loss = 5 percent = 5/100 * 15000 = 750 rupees

So, SP = 14,250 rupees

So, total CP = 30000 rupees

Total SP = 30150 rupees

So, gain = 150 rupees

So, gain percent = 150/30000 * 100 = 1/2 percent = 0.5 percent

Answer : Gain of 0.5 percent.
