Question

Fazyab bought a buffalo for rs 10000and a cow for 7500 he sold the buffelo at aloss of 12 percent and the cow at gain of 2 percent find his total gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

C.P. of the buffalo = Rs.10000

C.P. of the cow =Rs.7500

S.P. of the buffalo = SP = [(100 + Gain%) / 100] * CP

=Rs.8800

S.P. of the cow = SP = [(100 + Gain%) / 100] * CP

=Rs.7650

Therefore,total S.P. = Rs.(8800+7650)

= Rs.16450

Total C.P. = Rs.(10000+7500)

= Rs.17500

Therefore it is loss as C.P.is bigger than S.P.

Loss = C.P - S.P

= Rs.(17500-16450)

= Rs.1050

Loss% = (loss÷C.P.) *100

= 6%
