Question

Kaliya purchased a cow for 6000 and a buffalo for 12000 he sold the buffalo at a profit of 15% and cow at a loss of 10% calculate it as a percentage.

Answer 1

C. P. Of cow = ₹6000
Loss% = 10%

Now, S. P. = C. P. ( 100 - loss % / 100)
= 6000( 90 / 100)
= ₹5400

Again, C. P. Of buffalo = ₹12000
Profit% = 15%

Now, S. P. = C. P. (100 + profit% / 100)
= 12000(115 / 100)
= ₹13800

Therefore, Total C. P. Of buffalo and cow = 12000 + 6000 = ₹18000

Total S. P. Of buffalo and cow = 5400 + 13800
= ₹19200

Here, S. P. > C. P.

So, profit is here on whole transaction.

Now, profit = S. P. - C. P.
= 19200 - 18000
= ₹1200

Now, profit% = (profit/C. P.) 100
= (1200 / 18000)100
= 6.66666667 %
