Answer 1

Answer:

3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of each article = 9520 Rs

Case I

Profit = 12%

Percent SP = 112 Rs.

CP of the article = 100 x 9520/112 = 8500 Rs.

Case II

Loss = 15%

Percent SP = 85 Rs.

CP of the article = 100 x 9520/85 = 11200 Rs.

Total CP = 8500 + 11200 = 19700 Rs

Total SP = 2 x 9520 = 19040 Rs

Loss = 19700 - 19040 = 660 Rs

Percent loss = 100 x 660/19700 = 3.35 %

First item which had a profit of 12 pct, the cost price of that item would be Rs 8500.

2nd item which had a loss of 15 pct, the cost will be Rs 11200.

Total cost price of the items will be Rs 19700.

Total selling price is 2 x 9520 = Rs 19040.

Total loss = Rs 660.

Loss pct = 660 / 19700 x 100 = 3.35 pct means 3.4
