profit or loss per cent ?

please tell the answer​​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss of 6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve it in two methods

1st method formula:

if SP of 2 articles are same,one gain% percent is equal to another loss %

x%*x%/100 (always loss)

25*25/100

6 2/3

2nd method:

first book sold at 25%loss so SP is (100-25)%

75%=1200

100%=1600

second book sold at 25% gain so SP is (100+25)%

125%=1200

100%=960

both CP's are 1600+960=2560

        SP's are 1200+1200=2400

2560-2400=160

loss percent is 160/2400*100

loss %= 6 2/3
