Question

A man sold two articles at ₹375 each on the first article he gained 25 percent and on the otherhe lost 25 percent how much does he gain or lose in the whole transaction also find the he gain or loss. percent in the whole transaction

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of 1st article = 375 Rs.

CP = (100/100+ 25) * 375

     = 300 Rs.

SP of 2nd article = 375 Rs.

CP = (100/100-25) * 375

     = 500 Rs.

Total CP= 300+ 500 = 800 Rs.

Total SP = 375 + 375 = 750 Rs.

Since CP is greater than SP, there is loss

There is a loss of 50 Rs.

L%= 50/800*100

    = 6.25%

Answer 2

Solutions :-

We have,
Selling price of two articles is Rs 375 each.

Find the Cost Price of one article at 25% gain :-

C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 + gain)
= (375 × 100)/(100 + 25)
= 37500/125
= 300

Find the Cost price of other articles 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%
