Question

Raj sold 2 scooters for ₹40000 and ₹35000 respectively. He sells the first one at a gain of 25% and the second one at a loss of 10%. Find his overall gain or loss percent in the whole transaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cp of first scooter = X

Sp of first scooter =40000

We know that

X +20% of X = 40000

X + 20/100x = 40000

120/100x = 40000

120x= 4000000

X = 4000000/120

= 33334

Cp of second scooter = X

Sp = 35000

Loss = 10%

90/100x= 35000

90x = 3500000

X = 38889

Loss is 2777 rupees

Hope this answer helped you

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp = 40000

Gain % = 25%

Cp = sp × 100 ÷ 100 + gain %

= 40000 × 100

------------------

100 +25

= 40000× 100

------------------

125

= ₹ 32000
