Question

A shopkeeper sold two tables for ₹9000 each. On one table he gained 20% and on the other he lost 20%.Find his total gain or loss.​

Answer 1

Answer:

S.P. OF 2 TABLES= 9000X2 = RS 18000

GAIN % ON ONE TABLE = 20%

GAIN= (20/100) X 9000 +9000= rs 10800

LOST % ON ONE TABLE = 20%

LOSS= 9000- (20/100) X 9000= rs 7200

Total money he get = 7200 + 10800 = rs 18000

HENCE,HE MADE NO GAIN OR LOSS

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that,

S.P of each table = ₹9000

On one table he gained 20% and on the other he lost 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Table 1,

SP=CP+20% of CP= (120/100)CP

CP=9000(100/120)

CP=₹7500

Table 2,

SP=CP−20% of CP=(80/100)CP

CP=9000(100/80)

CP=₹11250

Total CP = 7500+11250 = ₹18750

Total SP = 9000+9000 = 18000

Profit (or) Lose = SP-CP=18000-18750=-750

So, he got lossed

Loss % = (Loss/CP)×100= (750/18750)×100=4%

Loss % = 4%
