Question

By selling two tea sets for ₹600 each ,a dealer gains 10% in one tea set and loses 25% in another tea set find his total loss in the deal

Answer 1

Total loss would be Rs. 145.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of two sets = Rs. 600 each

Gain in one tea set = 10 %

Loss in other tea set = 25%

So, it becomes,

Cost price it will give profit

$\dfrac{100}{100+10}\times 600\\\\=\dfrac{100}{110}\times 600\\\\=\dfrac{60000}{110}\\\\=545.45$

Cost price for which it gives loss

$\dfrac{100}{100-25}\times 600\\\\=\dfrac{100}{75}\times 600\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\times 600\\\\=4\times 200\\\\=800$

So, total cost price would be

$545.45+800=1345.45$

Total selling price would be

$600+600=1200$

So, Total loss would be

$1345.45-1200=145.45$

Hence, total loss would be Rs. 145.45
