Answer 2

Answer:

His overall loss% is 2.249%

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1:

SP of camera = Rs.4580

Loss% = 15%

$CP = \frac{SP \times 100}{100-L\%}$

$CP = \frac{4580 \times 100}{100-15}$

$CP = 5388.2352$

Case 2:

SP of camera = Rs.4580

Gain% = 15%

$CP = \frac{SP \times 100}{100+P\%}$

$CP = \frac{4580 \times 100}{100+15}$

$CP = 3982.6086$

Total CP = 3982.6086+5388.2352=Rs.9370.8438

Total SP = 4580+4580=Rs.9160

CP > SP

So, Loss

Loss = CP - SP = Rs.9370.8438-Rs.9160=Rs.210.8438

Loss% = $\frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100$

Loss% = $\frac{210.8438}{9370.8438} \times 100$

Loss% = $2.249\%$

Hence His overall loss% is 2.249%
