Question

A traders sells two computers at the same price, making a profit of 30% on one and a loss of 30% on the other. What is the net loss or profit percentage on the transaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

since the exact price of computer s is not as both have same price.

Let c.p of both = 100

Now he makes 30% profit on one.

so s.p = 130

Next he made 30% loss on other.

So s.p = 70

thus total cost price = 200

and total selling price = 130+70=200

Hence no gain no loss.

Thus net loss or profit percentage on the transaction = 0%
