Question

A farmer sold two cows at 3600 each.on one cow he gain 20 percent on the other lose 20 percent .find the netgain or loss percent

Answer 1

Heya...!!
Here is your answer ---


=> Selling Price of 2 cows = ₹ (3600 × 2) = ₹ 7200

=> Cost price of 1st cow = [100/(100 + G%)] × SP
= [100/120] × 3600
= 5/6 × 3600
= 5 × 600
= ₹ 3000

=> Cost Price of 2nd cow = [100/(100 - L%)] × SP
= [100/80] × 3600
= 5/4 × 3600
= 5 × 900
= ₹ 4500

=> Cost Price of 2 cows = ₹ (3000 + 4500) = ₹ 7500

Cost Price > Selling Price

Loss = CP - SP
= ₹ (7500 - 7200)
= ₹ 300

Loss% = Loss/CP × 100
= 300/7500 × 100
= 3/75 × 100
= 3/3 × 4
= 1 × 4
= 4% Loss
