Answer 1

Hey!

First part- attachment
Second part- down

Total = ₹300+500
=₹800

Total CP > Total SP

Loss= CP - SP
= 800 - 750
= 50

Loss % = (Loss/CP × 100) %
= 50/800×100
=6.25%

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Solution :-

We have,

Selling price of two articles is Rs 375 each.

Cost Price of one article at 25% gain :

C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 + gain)

= (375 × 100)/(100 + 25)

= 37500/125

= 300

Cost price of other article at 25% loss :

C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 - loss)

= (375 × 100)/(100 - 25)

= 37500/75

= 500

Now,

Cost Price of two articles = Rs (300 + 500) = Rs 800

Selling price of two articles = Rs (375 + 375) = Rs 750

Cost Price > Selling price

Loss = C.P - S.P

= Rs (800 - 750)

= Rs 50

Loss % = (loss × 100)/C.P %

= (50 × 100)/800 %

= 5000/800 %

= 6.25%

Answer : The loss percent in the whole transaction = 6.25%
