Answer 1

Answer: 2.8%

please mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of the walk man= 8000

SP= CP-loss

loss=8000*10/100=800

SP= 8000-800=7200

CP of the wrist watch= 4500

SP=CP+profit

profit=  4500*10/100=450

SP= 4500+450=4950

total SP=4950+7200=12150

total CP=8000+4500=12500

CP>SP

therefore loss

loss=12500-12150=350

loss%=350/12500*100

loss%=2.8%
