​

Answer:

5% loss shopkeeper will suffer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

7.36% loss

Explanation:

SP of first suitcase = Rs.2500

Gain = 10%

=> 110% of CP = 2500

=> 110/100 x CP = 2500

=> CP = Rs.2272.72

SP of second suitcase = Rs.2500

Loss = 20%

=> 80% of CP = 2500

=> 80/100 x CP = 2500

=> CP = Rs.3125

Total CP = Rs.(2272.72 +3125) = Rs.5397.72 =

Total SP = Rs.(2500 + 2500) = Rs.5000 =

CP > SP

Hence, loss = Rs.(5397.72-5000) = Rs.397.72

Loss% = 397.72/5397.72 x 100 = 7.36%
