Answer 2

Answer:

Overall loss is Rs.113.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

for rupees 3605 each on one he made a gain of 15% and on the other he lost 9%.

To find :

His overall gain or loss?

Solution :

First dog,

$SP_1=3605$

Profit = 15%

$CP_1= \frac{(SP\times 100)}{(100+profit\%)}$

$CP_1= \frac{(3605\times 100)}{(100+15)}$

$CP_1= \frac{(360500)}{(115)}$

$CP_1= 3134.7$

Now, Second dog

$SP_2=3605$

Loss = 9%

$CP_2= \frac{(SP\times 100)}{(100-loss\%)}$

$CP_2= \frac{(3605\times 100)}{(100-9)}$

$CP_2= \frac{(360500)}{(91)}$

$CP_2= 3961.5$

Total CP = 3134.7 + 3961.5 = 7096.2

Total SP = 3605+3605= 7210

Overall loss = 7210 - 7096.2 = 113.8

Therefore, Overall loss is Rs.113.8.
