Question

Dehu road to cameras for bachelors 80 each on selling one camera he lost 15% and on selling the other he gained 15% find his overall gain percentage or loss percentage in whole transaction

Answer 1

Answer:

2.25 % Loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Say cost price of both are  x & y

Gain 15 % = (15/100)x = 0.15 x

Selling price = x + 0.15x = 1.15x

1.15x = 80

x = 69.56

Loss 15 % = (15/100)y = 0.15y

Selling price = y - 0.15y = 0.85y

0.85y = 80

y = 94.12

Total cost price = 69.56 + 94.12

= 163.68 rs

Selling price = 80 + 80 = 160

Loss = 163.68 - 160 = 3.68

Loss % = (3.68/163.68)*100 = 2.25 %
