Question

A shopkeeper sells two air conditioners for ₹2500 such that he gains 10% on one and loses 20% on the other. Find his overall gain or loss percentage.

Answer 1

Answer:

2250

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 2500 is 250 so add 250 (he gains 10%) then loses 500 (20%)

2500+250=2750

2750-500=2250

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1, First AC

CP of air conditioner= ₹2500

profit = 10%

SP = 10/ ×2500 + 2500

SP = 2750 rupees

case 2, AC 2

CP = 2500 rupees

loss = 20%

SP = 2500 - 20%× 2500

SP = 2000 rupees

total profit or loss %

= clearly, he has loss

hence, loss %= total loss /total CP ×100

total loss %= 5000 - 4750/5000×100

total loss %= 250/5000×100

total loss %= 5 % loss
