Question

A man bought some pencil for rupees 30 and some pens for rupees 90 the next day he again bought some pencil for rupees 25 then he sold all the pencil for rupees 20 and the pen for rupees 70 what was his net gain or loss​

Answer 1

C. P of the pencils = 30+25

=55 rupees

C. P of pens = 90 rupees

S.P of pencils = 20 rupees

S. P of pens=70 rupees

total c. P=90+55

=145 rupees

total S. P=20+70

=90 rupees

C. P>S.P

thus,

loss=C.P-S. P

=145-90

=55 rupees

loss percent =loss/c.p×100

=55/145×100

=37.9%
