A man bought a refrigerator for 35615 and paid 125 on its transportation. He sold it for
*33953. Find his gain or loss per cent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first add 33953 +125=34078

so he gain loss =35615-34078=1537

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost price of a refrigerator = ₹35615

Cost price of transportation = ₹125

Total cost price = ₹35615+₹125

= ₹35740

Selling price = ₹33953

Since C.P. > S.P. ; so there is a loss

Loss = C.P - S.P

= ₹(35740 - 33953)

= ₹1787

Loss% = $\frac{loss}{C.P}$ ×100

= $\frac{1787}{35740}$ ×100

Loss% = 5%
