Answer 1

 Total percentage = 4.1666 % LOSS

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the questions,

1 -cost price of the first table,

                                          120% = 6000

                                           100% = $\frac{6000}{120}\times{100}$

                                                     = 5000 rs

2- cost price of the second table,

                                                       80% = 6000

                                                        100% =$\frac{6000}{80}\times{100}$

                                                                  = 7500 rs

3- Total cost price of the two tables ,

                                                           =  5000 + 7500

                                                           = 12500 rs

4-  Total percentage,

                                                 =   CP - SP

                                                  =  12500 - 12000

                                                  = 500 (Loss)

= $\frac{500}{12000}\times{100}$

= 4.1666 % LOSS
