Answer 2

Answer:

take total cp and so of 2 articles.

check if cp is greater or sp is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

sp of iron =1232

cp/sp = 100/100+p

cp = sp*100/100+12

cp=1232*100/112

cp=123200/112

cp =1100

profit%= 12%

sp of flask=1232

loss= 12%

cp = 1232*100/100-12( as above written , but here loss )

cp= 123200/88

cp =1400

total cp = 2500

total so = 2464

as cp is more than sp , so overall loss is loss.

2500-2464= 36

loss% = loss/total cp *100

loss% = 36/2500*100

loss%= 36/25= 1.44%

or

(common gainor loss/10)²

(12/10)²

144/100=1.44%
