Question

Sudha purchases two computers for ₹ 18,000 and ₹ 15,000 respectively. She sold them at a loss of 15% and at a gain of 19% respectively. Find the selling price of each of the computers. Also, find the overall profit or loss percent in the transaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first computer was sold at 15300 rupees. second computer was sold at 17850 rupees.

overall profit % =  0.4545% .

Step-by-step explanation:

first computer was sold at 15% loss. so the selling price is = 18000x 85% = 15300 rupees

second computer was sold at a gain of 19%. so the selling price is = 15000x119% = 17850 rupees.

so, total money earned by selling = 15300+17850=33150

now, total money spend on buying = 18000+15000= 33000

so the profit is = 33150-33000=150

thus overall profit % = (150/33000)x100% = 0.4545%
