Question

a man sold two articles at ₹375 each. on the first article he gained 25% and on the other he lost 25%. How much does he gain or lose in the whole transaction? also find the gain or loss percent in the whole transaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sp = 375

first article:

gain =25%

cp= 100× sp/100+gain%

cp= 35700/125

cp= 300

cp<sp

so,

gain = sp- cp

gain = 375-300

gain = 75

second article :

loss= 25%

cp= 100×sp/100-loss%

cp=37500/75

cp= 500

sp<cp

so,

loss = cp- sp

loss = 500- 375

loss= 125

cp of both article = 500+300 =800

In hole transaction

loss of second article - gain of first article

125- 75

loss = 50

loss % = loss × 100/cp

loss%= 50×100/800

loss= 6.25 %
