Question

fazyab bought a buffalo for rs 10000 and a cow for rs 7500 . he sold the buffalo at a loss of 12 percent and the cow at a gain of 20 percent . find his total loss or gain ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a profit of Rs 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of buffalo = 10,000

Cost price of cow = 7500

Loss % of buffalo = 12

Gain % of cow = 20

Loss of the buffalo :

Loss % = Loss/C.P × 100

Let the loss be x

$\implies$ 12 = x/10,000 × 100

$\implies$ 12 × 10,000/100 = x

$\implies$ 12 × 100 = x

$\implies$ 1200 = x

Loss of the buffalo = Rs 1200

Selling Price of buffalo = 10000 - 1200

= Rs 8800

Profit of cow :

Let the profit be x

Profit % = Profit/C.P × 100

$\implies$ 20 = x/7500 × 100

$\implies$ 20 × 7500/100 = x

$\implies$ 20 × 75 = x

$\implies$ 1500 = x

Profit of the cow = Rs 1500.

Selling price of cow = 7500 + 1500

= 9000

______________________

• Total Cost Price = 10000 + 7500

= Rs 17500

• Total Selling Price = 9000 + 8800

= Rs 17800

Total profit = 17800 - 17500

= Rs 300
