Question

A vender sold two things at same cost of 12 rs with one item at 25%profit and other at 20%loss,by this transaction he made profit or loss by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First item

Let Cp be x

x/SP=100/100+P%

x/12=100/100+25

125x=1200

x=₹9.7

Thus C.P. of first item is 9.7

Second item

Let Cp be x

x/SP=100/100-L%

x/12=100/100-20

80x=1200

x=₹15

Cp 1 + Cp 2 >Sp +Sp

9.7+15>12+12

24.7>24

So it is case of loss

Loss=0.7

0.7/24.7*100=loss percentage

2.8% is answer
