Question

A shopkeeper sold two tables for ₹1485 each. Once he gains 10% and on the others he loses 10%. His gain or loss in whole transaction is.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of one table sold by shopkeeper which gains 10% be x. gain=(10/100)x=0.1x

So since selling price= x+0.1x=1.1x=1485=> x=14850/11=1350. Profit=1485-1350= ₹135 .

let the cost of one table which loss 10% be y. Loss=10/100(y) =0.1y. So selling price of the table =y-0.1y=0.9y=1485=> y=14850/9= ₹1650. Loss=1650- 1485= ₹165 .

Net loss=165-135= ₹30.

Cost of two tables=1650+1350=₹3000.

Loss%=30(100)/3000=1 % .

Hence there is a loss of 1% .
