Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{5}{7}%$% gain

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of the television and the camera = Rs10,000 +Rs 7500 = Rs17,500

SP of the television = (10,000 - 12% OF 10,000)

                              = 10,000 - 12/100 x 10,000

                              = Rs10,000 - Rs1200= Rs8,800

SP of the camera= ( 7,500 + 20% OF 7,500)

                            =7,500 + 20/100 x 7,500

                            = 7,500 + 1,500 = Rs9,000

⇒  Total SP =  Rs8,800 + Rs9,000 = Rs 17,800

⇒Since SP > CP ,Sukhbeer had profit.

P= SP - CP = 17,800 - 17,500=Rs 300

P% = P/CP X 100 = 300/17,500 X 100== $1\frac{5}{7}$ %GAIN
