surbhi sold 80kg of wheat. she sold first 20 kg at a profit of 20% but the rest at a loss of 10%. what was her overall profit or loss percentage?​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss is of 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price of onr kg be 100 Rs

total revenue of selling 20 kg at a profit of 20% is as follow:

price of 20kg is 20*100=2000

profit is 2000*0.20= 400

so total revenue is 2400

total revenue of selling 60 kg at a loss of 10% is as follow:

actual price is 60*100=6000

loss is=6000*0.10=600

total revenue is 5400

so over all revenue is 5400+2400=7800

if sold at price, reveune is=80*100=8000

so total loss is 200 which is equal to 2.5%
