Question

A TV and a laptop were bought for Rs.18000 each. The shopkeeper made a loss of 4% on the laptop and a profit of 8% on the TV. Find the gain or loss on the whole transaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of TV = Rs 18000.

Cost of Laptop = Rs 18000.

Loss on Laptop = 4%.

So, loss on laptop = 4/100 of Rs 18000 = Rs 720.

Profit on TV = 8%.

So, profit on TV = 8/100 of Rs 18000 = Rs 1440.

Therefore, loss on Laptop = Rs 720.

Profit on TV = Rs 1440.

Hope it helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit on TV = 1440

Loss on Laptop = 720

It is a profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of TV = Rs. 18000

Profit% on TV = 8%

Profit on TV = 8% of Cost Price

$= \frac{8}{100} \times 18000 \\ = 8 \times 180 \\ = 1440$

Cost of Laptop = Rs. 18000

Loss% on Laptop = 4%

Loss on Laptop = 4% of 18000

$= \frac{4}{100} \times 18000 \\ = 4 \times 180 \\ = 720$

Therefore,

Profit on TV = 1440

Loss on Laptop = 720

Because,

Profit is greater than Loss,

Their is a Profit in whole transaction.
