Answers
Answer:
Gain of 8.89%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total CP = Computer + Phone = 18,000 + 10,500 = 28,500
CP of computer = 18000
17% gain on computer = 17% of CP = 0.17 * 18000 = 3,060
Sell price of computer = 18,000 + 3,060 = 21,060
CP of phone= 10500
5% loss on phone = 5% of CP = 0.05 * 10500 = 525
Sell price of phone = 10,500 - 525 = 9,975
Total SP = Computer + Phone = 21,060 + 9,975 = 31,035
Because Total SP is greater than total CP, it was a gain
Total gain = SP - CP = 31,035 - 28,500 = 2,535
% gain = (Gain / CP) * 100 = (2535 / 28500) * 100 = 8.89%
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Computer :
Cp = Rs 18,000
Loss = 5%
Sp = 18,000 - 5% of 18,000
= 18,000 - 5/100×18,000
= 18,000 - 900
= 17,100
loss = Cp - Sp
= 18,000 - 17,100
= 900
(ii) Mobile phone :
Cp = 10,500
Loss = 17%
Sp = 10,500 + 17% of 10,500
= 10,500 + 1785
= 12,285
Gain = Sp - Cp = 12,285 - 10,500
= 1,785
Total gain = 1785 - 900 = 885
