Question

a man sold one cow at 15% profit and another at 15% loss then find his total profit and loss if SP of each cow is same​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/4 (2.25) loss

Step-by-step explanation:

let us consider that the man purchase the cows in 10,10 rs

now according to the question

10 ------------ 11.5 (15%profit) --> eq1

10 -------------8.5 (15%loss) --->eq2

now multiple both equation

100 ------ 97.75

means cost price is 100 re while selling price is 97.75

it means 2 1/4 % loss

(in these type of questions we considered cost price as 10 bcoz after multiple the result comes 100 due to which question's solution bcoz easy)
