Question

himanshu bought 120 kg of sugar at Rs22 per kg. he sold 30% of sugar at Rs13 per kg and the remaining sugar at Rs25 per kg find the gain or loss percentage on the whole

Answer 1

find first cost price of sugar= 22×120=2640.
then 30% of sugar=30×120/100=36.
so he sell 36 kg of sugar at Rs 13 = 36×13= Rs 468.
then he sells the remaining sugar i.e(120-36)kg sugar at the rate of Rs 25=84×25=Rs 2100.
Now both the selling price =Rs2100+Rs468=Rs2568.
now selling price is less than cost price.
So, it will be a loss.
So loss percentage=(2640-2568×100/2640)=2.727%

Answer 2

Answer: 2.727%

Step-by-step explanation:  

CP = 22×120=2640.

30% of sugar=30×120/100=36.

so he sell 36 kg of sugar at Rs 13 = 36×13= Rs 468.

then he sells the remaining sugar i.e(120-36)kg sugar at the rate of Rs 25=84×25=Rs 2100.

Now both the SP =Rs2100+Rs468=Rs2568.

now  SP is less than CP .

So, it will be a loss.

So loss percentage=(2640-2568×100/2640)=2.727%
