one be made a gain of 5% and on the other a loss of 10%.
Find his overall gain or loss. (Hint: Find CP of each)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

=> buffalo = Rs 20000

=> The milkman made a gain of 5% while selling one buffalo.

=> This means if C.P. is Rs 100, then S.P. is Rs105.

=> C.P. of one buffalo =2000×100/105= Rs 19,047.62

=> Also, the second buffalo was sold at a loss of 10%.

=> This means if C.P. is Rs 100, then S.P. is Rs 90.

=> ∴C.P. of other buffalo =2000×100/90= Rs 22222.22

=> Total C.P. = Rs 19047.62 + Rs 22222.22 = Rs 41269.84

=> Total S.P. = Rs 20000 + Rs 20000 = Rs 40000 => Loss = Rs 41269.84 − Rs 40000 = Rs1269.84

=> therfore the loss of milkman is, Rs 1,269.84.
