Answer:
Given:
Cost price(CP) of each article=Rs. 8000
Profit of 8% on TV
Loss of 4% on VCR
Cost price of TV =Rs. 8000
Profit on TV = Cost price × profit %
Profit on TV =8% of 8000
=8000×
100
8
=80×8
=Rs. 640
Cost Price of VCR =Rs. 8000
Loss on VCR = Cost price × Loss %
Loss on VCR=4% of 8000
=8000×
100
4
=80×4
=Rs. 320
Since profit is more than loss,
Hence, the shopkeeper gains net profit
Net Profit=640−320=Rs. 320
Now
Total cost Price of both article=8000+8000=Rs. 16000
Profit(%)=
