Question

a vcr and tv were bought for ₹ 8000 each the shop keeper made a loss of 4%on the vcr and a profit of 8%on the tv find the gain or loss percent on the whole transaction (pls help)

Answer 1

HEY DEAR ...

Given:

Cost price(CP) of each article=₹8000

Profit of 8% on TV

Loss of 4% on VCR

 

C.P of TV= ₹8000



Profit on  TV = Cost price × profit %

Profit on TV = 8%of 8000



=8000 ×(8/100)

=80×8

= ₹640

 

C.P of VCR= ₹8000


 Loss on
VCR = Cost price × Loss %

Loss on VCR= 4% of 8000



=8000 ×(4/100)

=80× 4

= ₹320


Since profit 
is more than loss,

Hence, the shopkeeper gains net profit



Net Profit= 640 -320= 320



Now

Total cost Price of both article= 8000+ 8000
=₹16000

 

Profit%= (profit/C.P)×100


 Profit %=
(320/16000) ×100

Profit % = 32/16


Profit %=2%

Hence, the gain in the whole transaction = 2%.
