Answer 1

man purchase rice for ₹300

he sold 2/3 of rice for 8% loss

remaining 1/3 of rice for 10% profit

profit =10

loss=8

profit - loss = his gain/loss percentage

10 - 8 =2%

so, he gained 2% profit





mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

net cp = 300

case 1,

2/3 of 300 = 200 = cp1

loss = 8%

so sp1 = (100 - 8)/100 × 200 = 92/100 × 200

= 184

now case 2,

remaining = (1-2/3) of 300 = 1/3 × 300 =100 = cp2

profit = 10%

so sp2 = (100 + 10)/100 × 100 = 110

so his total selling price is 184 + 110 = 294

and cost price is 300.

therefore net loss on the whole transaction = 300 - 294 = 6

loss% = 6/300 × 100= 6/3 = 2%
