  • As per the data given in the question, we have to find the total loss or profit.
  • Given data- Selling price of two transistors= 308.

                One transistor sold at a loss of 12%.

                and the second one sold at a profit of 12%.

  • To find:- Total loss or profit percentage.
  • Solution:-

       As we know the formula,

       %Loss/Profit=x\pm y\pm\times\frac{xy}{100}

        So, we will apply this formula, we will get it,

         \Rightarrow 12-12\pm \times\frac{12\times12}{100}

         =-\frac{144}{100}

         =-\frac{36}{25}.

         =-1\frac{11}{25}\% . minus sign indicates the loss percentage.

From the given data,

As Selling price of each of the transistor is Rs. 308

As he sold first one at 12% loss,  

And the second one sold at a profit of 12 %.

So,

Total SP of both the transistor will be Rs. 308+308 = Rs. 616

So,

Let the CP of first transistor is x

So,

(100-12)\%\:of\:x = 271.04 \:Rs.\\=> x = Rs.\:350

Let the CP of second transistor = y

So,

(100+12)\%\:of\:y = 344.96 \:Rs.\\=> y = Rs. \:275

So, total CP will be

Rs.\:350+275\\Rs.\:625

As total CP of both transistor is more than total SP of both the transistor

So, There will be overall loss.

Hence, loss percentage will be,

=\frac{625-616}{625}\times 100\%\\=>\frac{9}{625}\times 100\%\\=> 1.44\% \:loss
