Question

Anil sells one transistor for rupees 880 at gain of 10% and another for rupees 960 at a loss of 4%. Find the overall gain or loss %.

Answer 1

The answer is 2,2/9 percent

Answer 2

Answer:

2.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of first transistor = [(100/100+gain%)×SP]

→ = [100/(100+10)×880]

→ = (100/110×880)

→ = ₹ 800

CP of second transistor= [(100/100-loss%)×SP]

→ = [(100/100-4)×960]

→ = [(100/96)×960]

→ = ₹1000

Total CP = ₹ 800 + ₹ 1000 = ₹ 1800

Total SP = ₹ 880 + ₹ 960 = ₹ 1840

Gain = ₹ 1840 - ₹ 1800 = ₹ 40

Gain % = [(gain × 100)/CP]%

= (40×100/1800)%

= 2.22%
