Question

Meenu bought tow fans Rupees 1200 each. She sold one at a loss of 50% and the other at a profit of 10%. Find the selling price of each. Also find out the total profit or loss. ​

Answer 1

$<b> Solution :$

Overall C.p of each fan = 1200

One is sold at a loss of 5%

This means if c.p is $100, sp is $95.

Therefore, when C.p. is $1200, then Sp = $95/100×1200=$1140

Also second fan is sold at a profit of 10%

$sp = \frac{110}{100} \times 1200 = 1320$

Total c.p = 1200+1200=2400

Total s.p = 1140+1320=2460

Profit = 2460 - 2400 = 60

110

×1200=1320

Total c.p = 1200+1200=2400

Total s.p = 1140+1320=2460

Profit = 2460 - 2400 = 60
