Question

suman purchased amicrowave for Rs.6500 and sold it at profit of 24%. From that amount she purchased a refrigerator and sold it at a loss of 20%. What is her overall profit/loss?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2 loss

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of microwave = 6500

profit % = 24

selling price = cp + profit%

$= 6500 + ( \frac{24}{100} \times 6500) \\ = 6500 + (24 \times 65) \\ = 6500 + 1560 \\ = 8060$

cost price of fridge = 8060

loss % = 20

selling price = cp - loss%

$= 8060 - ( \frac{20}{100} \times 8060) \\ = 8060 - (2 \times 806) \\ = 8060 - 1612 \\ = 6448$

selling price of fridge = 6448

she has a loss of

= 6500 - 6448

= 2

2 rupee loss

loss %

= 2/6500 × 100

= 2/65

= 0.030%
