Question

a trader bought two article for rupees 40000 each if he sold them at a profit of 5% on first article and a loss of 10% of the second article find his overall profit or loss percent​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In case 1,

C.P = rs 40000

Profit% = 5 %

S.P = (100 + gain%) / 100 * CP

= 105/100 * 40000

= 42000

In Case 2,

C.P = rs 40000

Loss% = 10%

S.P = (100 - loss%) / 100 * CP

= 90/100 * 40000

= 36000

So total CP = rs 2 * 40000

= rs 80000

Total SP = 42000 + 36000

= 78000

So,loss = C.P - SP

= 80000 - 78000

= 2000

Loss% = loss/cp * 100

= 2000 / 80000 * 100

= 2.5%

Hope it helps....!!!

Answer 2

okAnswer:

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P of both the articles= 40000

C.P of the first article = 40000

Profit on the first  article= 5%

SP of the article = C.P (100+P%/100)

SP of the article = 42000

Now; C.P of the second article=40000

Loss on the article = 10%

SP of the article = C.P(100-L%/100)

SP of the article = 36000

Now; he has a loss because if we will subtract 40000 fro 36000 it will be 4000 and 42000 from 40000 it will be 2000. And 4000 is greater than 2000.

Again; Loss %= Loss/C.P*100

Loss= 10%
