Question

A man sold two Scooter for 18000 each on one he gain 20% and on the other he lost 20% find his total loss or gain.​

Answer 1

SP OF SCOOTER IS 18000

FIRST GAIN=20%

SO CP OF GAIN 20%=

100/100+20*18000=15000

CP OF LOSS 20%=

100/100-20*18000=22500

SO TOTAL SP=18000*2=36000

TOTAL CP=15000+22500=37500

SO CLErly it is a loss

then loss=37500-36000=1500

loss%=1500/37500*100=4%
