Answer 1

Answer:  The correct answer is A overall profit of 7.2%

mark as brainliest answer plz

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit in watch = 20%

SP of watch = Rs. 3600

Then CP of watch = 100*SP /(100+ P%)

               = 100*3600/120

               = Rs. 3000

For clock,

Loss = 12%

SP = Rs. 1760

Then., CP = 100 *SP /(100 -L%)

          = 100*1760/88

                 = Rs. 2000

So, Total CP = Rs. 3000+ Rs. 2000 = Rs. 5000

Total SP = Rs. 3600+Rs. 1760 = Rs. 5360

Then, Profit = SP -CP =  Rs. 5360-  Rs. 5000 = Rs. 360

P% = 360 /5000*100%

=7.2%

Answer 2

Answer:

hi, 7.2% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit in watch = 20%

SP of watch = Rs. 3600

Then CP of watch = 100*SP /(100+ P%)

              = 100*3600/120

              = Rs. 3000

For clock,

Loss = 12%

SP = Rs. 1760

Then., CP = 100 *SP /(100 -L%)

         = 100*1760/88

                = Rs. 2000

So, Total CP = Rs. 3000+ Rs. 2000 = Rs. 5000

Total SP = Rs. 3600+Rs. 1760 = Rs. 5360

Then, Profit = SP -CP =  Rs. 5360-  Rs. 5000 = Rs. 360

P% = 360 /5000*100%

=7.2%
