Answer 1

Answer:

3.5 % profit

Step-by-step explanation:

VCR

CP = 9000; 3 % loss

SP = 9000 * 97/100 = 8730

TV

CP = 9000; 10 % profit

SP = 9000 * 110/100 = 9900

Total CP = 18000

Total SP = 18630

Profit = 630

$profit \: percent = \frac{profit}{cp} \times 100 = \frac{630}{18000} \times 100 = 3.5\%$

(or)

Let Consider the CP of VCR and TV = 100 x

VCR with 3 % loss, SP = 97x

TV with 10 % profit, SP = 110 x

Total CP = 200 x

Total SP = 207 x

profit percent = 7/200 * 100 = 3.5 %
