Question

dabli invest a sum of 16000 and in 2 years earns profit of 5% and next 2years loss 5% what is his profit or loss?

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 40 as loss

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, calculate 5% of 16000.i.e.

16000 x 5/100

= 800

So, Dabli's profit in two years is 16000 + 800 = 16800

Now calculate 5% of 16800.i.e.

16800 x 5/100

= 840

Therefore, Dabli's invest was 16800.

and on the other hand 800 - 840 = -40

The last step is as there is negative sign so,

Dabli's normal invest                                             =  16000

Dabli's loss                                                             =  -      40

the amount with dabli is                                        =   15600

Therefore Dabli had loss of ₹ 40

Answer 2

Answer:

His loss is ₹$40$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum is ₹$16000$

Time is $2$ years.

According to the question, calculating $5$ percent of $16000$

$16000*\frac{5}{100}$

$=800$

Dabli's profit in two years $=16000+800=16800$

Hence, $5%$ percent of $16800$ is

$16800*\frac{5}{100} =840$

Dabli's invest $=16800$

and $800-840=-40$

The last step is as there is negative sign.

Hence, Dabli had loss of ₹ $40$
