Question

Mr.Mehta purchased a video for ₹18000 and a television for ₹10500.On the video he lost 5% and on the television he gained 17%.Find his total gain or lost percent

Answer 1

Cost of Video game = ₹18000
Cost of Television = ₹105000

Now, loss of telvision = 5%
$= \frac{x}{105000} = \frac{5}{100} \\ = x = \frac{5}{100} \times 105000$
Thus, If we cancel the zeros,
$x = \frac{5}{1} \times 1050$
$5 \times 210 = 1050$
For the television, he incurred a loss of ₹210

Now, cost of videogame= ₹18000
Proft percentage of videogame = 17%
$\frac{x}{18000} = \frac{17}{100} \\ x = \frac{17}{100} \times 18000$
Now, cancel the zeros.
$x = \frac{17}{1} \times 180$
$17 \times 180 = 3060$

He gained a profit of ₹3060.
