Question

a man sold two horses for₹1600 each , gaining 20% one one horse and 20% losing on the other. find his total loss or gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer...

Cost of one horse is 1600

So cost of two horses is 1600+1600=3200

Now let's find out the C.P of first horse...

$\frac{1600 \times 120}{100} \\ simplify \\ \\ \: \frac{ 16\cancel{00} \times 120}{1 \cancel{00}} \\ \\ = 16 \times 120 = rs1920$

Now find out c.p of another horse...

$\frac{1600 \times 80}{100} \\ \\ simplify \\ \\ \frac{ 16\cancel{00} \times 80}{1\cancel{00}} \\ = 16\times 80 = rs1280$

Total C.P = 1920+1280=rs 3200

Now gain= Total C.P+S.P

=3200+3200=6400

Gain percent

$= \frac{ \cancel{3200} }{ \cancel{3200}} \times 100 \\ \\ = 100 percent$
