Question

Kushal sold 2 bicycle for Rs 3500 each gaining 25% on one and lasing 20% on other .find his gain or loss % on the whole

Answer 1

Answer:

2.44% loss on the whole

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost be x profit on x is 25% so x+x/4 =selling price 5x/4=3500 cost=x=2800

cost of second bicycle =y

cost-loss=Selling price

y-y/5=3500 4y/5=3500

so y=4375

so profit on first bicycle =25%of2800=700

and loss on second bicycle

=20%of4375 =875

so on the whole he'll bear loss of 175 rs , that is 2.44%

(4375+2800=7175 total cost on which loss percentage found)

hope it helps you thanks
