Question

A man sold two articles at Rs 25920 each.These were sold at 8% gain and 4% loss respectively. Find the gain or loss per cent in the whole transaction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P of 1st article => 25920Rs.

Profit % => 8%

C.P => (100/100+Profit%)×S.P

=> 100/108×25920

=> 24000Rs.

Now, S.P of 2nd article => 25920Rs.

Loss% => 4%

C.P => (100/100-Loss%)×S.P

=> 100/96×25920

=> 27000Rs.

Total S.P => (2×25920)Rs.

=> 51840Rs.

Total C.P => (24000+27000)Rs.

=> 51000Rs.

Total Profit => 51840-51000

=> 840Rs.

Profit% => 840/51000×100

=> 1.647%
