Question

suman sold two each for Rs.96 but gaining 20% in the first and losing 20% in the second.find the total profit or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the question

suman sold 2 article each for 96

on 1st gaining 20% profit and another loss of 20%

1 case

cp = (sp × 100 )/100+p%

cp = (96 × 100)/120

cp = 9600/120

cp = 80rs

2nd condition

cp = (sp × 100 )/100 -l%

cp = 9600/100- 20

cp = 9600/80

cp = 120 rs

total cp is 120 + 80

= 200rs

and total sp = 96 +96

= 192rs

loss = cp - sp

200 - 192 = 8rs loss

loss % = loss ×100/cp

(8×100)/200

4% loss
