Answer 1

Answer:

overall profit=691.2

Step-by-step explanation:

total cp=17280×2=34560

sp of item where profit is gained=17280(1+8/100)

=17280×27/25

=18662.4

sp of item where loss is suffered=17280(1-4/100)

=17280×24/25

=16588.8

total sp=(18662.4+16588.8)

=35251.2

since total sp>total cp,

profit gained=35251.2-34560

=691.2 thanks for the question and please thank me by pressing the red button and if you have doubts in calculation write in comments for whole calculation

Answer 2

Answer:

Overall profit %= 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

C.P. = 17280 each

Total C.P. = 34560

ATQ,

At profit 8%:

S.P.= 17280+17280×8%= 18662.4

At loss 4%:

S.P.= 17280-17280×4%= 16588.8

Total money by selling of both the articles= 18662.4+16588.8= 35251.2

Profit= 35251.2-34560= 691.2

%profit= (691.2/34560)×100= 2%

Hope, it helps!
