Question

Problem 6.3 A shopkeeper sells two items at the same
price. If he sells one of them at a profit of 10% and the
other at a loss of 10%, find the percentage profit/loss ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER : 0.99% LOSS

SOLUTION :

assume that SP is 100 in both case.

Using

SP = (1 + profit%/100)*CP

SP = (1 - loss%/100)*CP

We get Total CP = 1000/11 + 1000/9 = 202.02

Total SP = 100 + 100 = 200

So, Loss = CP - SP = 202.02 - 200 = 2.02

Loss% = Loss*100/CP = 0.99%
