Answer 1

Answer:

case 1. cost price of two hand bags = 1500

= profit = 8%

= let selling price = x

=1500×108/100 =x

= ×=1620

case 2. cost price of two hand bags = 1500

=loss = 4%

= let selling price = x

=1500×96/100= ×

×=1530

total cost price = 1500+1500=3000

total selling price = 1620+1530 =3150

3150 - 3000= 150

profit % = p/c.p×100

p % = 150/3000×100
