Question

a man sold two articles at rupees 375 is on the first article he gain 25% and on the other he lost his 25 percentage how much does he gain or loss in the whole transaction also find the gain or loss percent in the world translation

Answer 1

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%
