Question

hari bought rice worth rs 750 and spent rs 50 on transport and packing. he sold three- fourths of it at a loss of 10% and the remainder at a gain of 10%. find his gain or loss on the whole transaction.

Answer 1

750+50=800
(3/4)×800=600
=600-(10/100×600)
=600-60=540



200+(10/100×200)
=200+20
=220

whole trans.=760

loss=(40/800)×100
=5%
