Question

A Shopkeeper sells an article for 800 at a gain of 25%and another for 950 at a loss of 5%.find his total profit or loss in per cent

Answer 1

SP of articles = 800
Profit = 25%
CP of articles =SP×100/(100+profit)
800×100/(100+25)
800×100/125
800× 4/5
160×4
640

SP of second article = 950
Loss = 5%
CP of the article =SP×100/(100-Loss)
950×100/(100-5)
950×100/95
10×100
1000

Total CP of articles = (1000+640)=1640
Total SP of articles = (800+950)=1750
Profit =(1750-1640)= 110
Profit % = profit /CP ×100 =110/1640×100=6.707
= 6.71

Answer 2

Answer: SP of articles = 800

Profit = 25%

CP of articles =SP×100/(100+profit)

800×100/(100+25)

800×100/125

800× 4/5

160×4

640

SP of second article = 950

Loss = 5%

CP of the article =SP×100/(100-Loss)

950×100/(100-5)

950×100/95

10×100

1000

Total CP of articles = (1000+640)=1640

Total SP of articles = (800+950)=1750

Profit =(1750-1640)= 110

Profit % = profit /CP ×100 =110/1640×100=6.707

= 6.71
