Question

jagdish bought 2 jewellery sets for rupees 20000each . he sold one at a profit of 15 %and other at loss of 4%. find the total profit or loss in the whole transaction
​

Answer 1

cp1 = cp2 = 20000

sp1 = cp(1+g%)

= cp1(1+15%)

=20000×1.15 =23000

sp2 = cp2(1-l%)

=20000×(1-4%)

= 20000× 0.9

=19200

sp =sp1+sp2 = 42200

cp=cp1+cp2 = 40000

profit % = sp-cp/cp ×100

= 2200/400 = 5.5%

Answer 2

Answer:

1100 profit

Step-by-step explanation:

1 jwellery set costs 10k ,

10000 x 15/100 = profit = 1500

2nd jwellery set costs 10

10000 x 4/100 = loss = 400

jagdish earned 1500 in his first transaction, and suffered a loss of 400 in the second transaction, therefore , 1500 - 400 = total profit = 1100
