Question

Mr. mehta purchased a video for Rs 20000 and a television for Rs 30000. On the video he lost 5% and on the television he gained 8%. find his total gain or loss per cent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Video = 20000 - 5% of 20000

= 20000 - 1000

= 19000

Television = 30000 + 8% on 30000

= 30000 + 2400

= 32400

Loss = 1000, Gain = 2400 (Gain>Loss)

Total Gain = 2400-1000

= ₹1400 /-

Revised Values of Video & Television = 19000+32400 = 51400

Now,

=> 1400/51400 × 100

=> 2.8%
