Question

Rajat sold two tables for Rs 6000 each. On one he gained 20% and the other she lost 20%. Find his total loss or gain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss = ₹500

Loss = ₹500Loss% = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1 - Gain = 20%

SP = ₹6000

Gain = 20%

Let the CP be x

A/q

x + 20% of x = 6000

=> x + 20/100 × x = 6000

=> x + x/5 = 6000

=> (5x + x)/5 = 6000

=> 6x = 6000 × 5

=> x = ( 6000 × 5 )/6

= 1000 × 5

= 5000

CP of 1st table = ₹ 5000

Case 2 - Loss of 20%

SP = 6000

Loss = 20 %

Let the CP be x

A/q

x - 20% of x = 6000

=> x - 20/100 × x = 6000

=> x - x/5 = 6000

=> ( 5x - x )/5 = 6000

=> 4x/5 = 6000

=> 4x = 6000 × 5

=> x = ( 6000 × 5 )/ 4

=> x = 1500 × 5

= 7500

CP of 2nd table = ₹7500

Now,

Total SP = 6000×2

= ₹ 12000

Total CP = 7500 + 5000

= 12500

here , CP > SP

Loss = CP - SP

= 12500 - 12000

= ₹ 500

Loss % = Loss/CP × 100

= 500/12500 × 100

= 1/25 × 100

= 4 %

Hence , Total Loss = ₹ 500

Loss% = 4%
