Question

A man purchase some number of article at rs.189000 and he sell 3/8 of them at 12% profit at what loss % did he sell the remaining to gain 4% overall profit

Answer 1

He gets 14% of loss that means he gets 86% of CP.

Thus,

Let the CP be Rs. 100.

60% of 100 + 16.66% of 60% of 100 X *40% of 100 = 86% of 100

70 + 40X = 86

40X = 86 - 70 =16

X = 16/40

X = 0.4

Hence, Loss = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 = 60%

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

300  +  500  ===800

336  +   496  ====832

AS 4% PRFT ON 800 IS 832

500-496 = 4     4*100/500 = 0.8 % LOSS
