Question

maria sold two items one at loss of 15% and another at profit of 15% if the cp is 210 each. find the gain or loss in whole transaction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = 210

1st Item

Was sold at 15% profit. So

SP = 115% of CP = 1.15 * 210 = 241.5

2nd Item

Was sold at a loss of 15%. So

SP = 85% of CP = 0.85 * 210 = 178.5

Total CP = 420.

Total SP = 241.5 + 178.5 = 420

Since Total CP = Total SP, neither profit nor loss was made.
