Question

Mr.tandon purchased a computer for ₹32000 and a microwave oven for ₹6500. On computer he lost 5% and on microwave he gained 15% . Find his total gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price of computer be X and microwave be y

cost price= selling price + loss

x = 32000+0.05x

X=33684.21

loss = 33684.21-32000 =1684.21

y=6500-0.15y ( CP = SP - loss)

y = 5652.17

profit = 6500- 5652.17=847.83

net loss= 1684.21-847.83 =836.37

total cost price=33684.21 + 5652.17= 39336.38

net loss percentage= 836.37/39336.38×100=2.126%
