.) A merchant buy the sugar of cost 24400. Then he sells of it at a loss of 10% and the remaining at a porofit of 10%. Finally he experiences. ?​

Answer 1

given that by giving 10% discount ,the price is Rs. 495,

let original price before discount be x,

therefore,

0.9x = 495,

=> x = 495/0.9,

=> x = 550,which is cost price.

given he sold it for Rs. 660/-,

so gain % = [(660-550)/550]*100,

=> gain % = (110/550)*100,

=> gain % = 20%.
