Question

a man went to market and purchased an item of 15000 and sold it at loss of 10% from that amount he purchase and other item and sold at a profit of 16% what is amount of overall profit made by him in whole dealing

​

Answer 1

Solution :-

By successive formula,

Profit  % = -a+b + (-a)  (b) /100 [-for less]

over all profit  % = -10 + 16 + (-10)(16)/100 [ – for loss]

=> 6 – 1.6

= > 4.4%

So, overall profit = 4.4 ×15000/100

=> 4.4 × 150

=>  660

The overall profit made by him in whole dealing is 660Rs
