A farmer sold two bullocks for
rupees 18,000 each, on one bullock he gained
20% and on the other he lost 20%.
Find his total loss or gain percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

another one bullocks 20 % profit and another 20% loss that's mean same amount

of profit and loss

Step-by-step explanation:

let bullocks cost price X

one bullocks grain 20%

then sell price of bullock = (100+20)/100 ×X

= 120/100 ×X = 6/5 ×X

another bullocks loss 20%

then sell price (100-20) / 100 × X

= 80/100× x = 4/5 X

then two bullocks sell price

= 6/5 ×X + 4/5 × X

= X( 6/5+4/5) = X(10/5) =2x

given two bullocks sold 18000 rupees

so 2x= 1800

so two bullocks cost price 1800

there was no profit and lost
