Question

A farmer sold 2 bullocks for 24000 each. On one bullock he gained 25% and on
other he lost 20%. Find his total profit or loss percent?​

Answer 1

First bullock profit = 25% = 24000*(25/100) = 6000

First bullock selling price = 24000 + 6000 = 30000

Second bullock loss = 20% = 24000*(20/100) = 4800

Second bullock selling price = 24000 - 4800 = 19200

2 bullocks C.P = 48000

2 bullocks S.P = 49200

Total profit = 1200

Profit percentage = (1200/48000)*100

                              = 2.5%
