We have
A man sold of two horses for Rs 29700 each.


Cost Price of one horse at 10% loss = (S.P × 100)/(100 - loss)
= (29700 × 100)/(100 - 10)
= 2970000/90
= 33000


Cost Price of other horse at 10% gain = (S.P × 100)/(100 + gain)
= (29700 × 100)/(100 + 10)
= 2970000/110
= 27000


Total cost price of two horses = Rs (33000 + 27000) = Rs 60000
Total selling price of two horses = Rs (29700 + 29700) = Rs 59400


Selling price < Cost Price


Loss = S.P - C.P
= Rs (60000 - 59400)
= Rs 600


Loss % = (loss × 100)/C.P %
= (600 × 100)/60000 %
= 60000/60000 %
= 1 %


Answer : Total loss percent in the transaction = 1%

given in the ques 10% gain as well as loss so

= -(10^2)/100

= -100/100

= -1%

where -(minus) represent loss.
