Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage = 5% Of Gain (Please mark as Brainliest)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Refrigerator = 20,000

2 Refrigerators = 20,000 * 2 = 40,000

He sold 1 refrigerator for a gain of 15% and another for a loss of 10%

15% of 20,000

= 15/100 * 20,000

= 3,000

Since the percentage is a profit, we have to add 3,000 to 20,000 which is 23,000

10% of 20,000

= 1/10 = 20,000

= 2,000

Since this was a loss we subtract 2000 from 20,000 which is 18,000

Now you have to add 18,000 to 23,000  which is 41,000, meaning a profit of 1,000, which, as a percentage, is a profit of 5% altogether.
