Question

Anushka purchase and item for Rs 4800 and sold it for loss of 6% and for and from the money she purchase another item and sold it for again 6 % what is the overall gain or loss

Answer 1

Find the total cost incurred:

Total cost = Rs 4800

Find the selling Price of the item:

6% of 4800 = 0.06 x 4800 = Rs 288

Selling Price of the item = 4800 - 288 = Rs 4512

Find the selling price of the item she purchased again:

6% loss = 0.06 x 4512 = Rs 270.72

Selling Price = 4512 - 270.72 = Rs 4241.28

Find the overall loss:

Loss = 4800 - 4241.28 = Rs 558.72

Find the loss percentage:

Loss percentage = loss/cost price x 100

Loss percentage =558.72/4800 x 100 = 11.64%

Answer: The overall loss is Rs 558.72 and it is 11.64%

Answer 2

Purchased item = Rs.4800, Loss = 6%,

Last selling price = 4800 x 6/100 = 4800 x 0.06= Rs 288. Selling price of the item = 4800 – 288= Rs. 4512.

Selling price of the item she purchased again = 6%= 0.06x4512 = Rs. 270.72, 4512- 270.72= Rs. 4241.28.

Overall loss= 4800 – 4241.28= Rs. 558.72
