Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Naresh sold two books for Rs 600.
→ selling price of the book = 600
profit = 20%
→ cost price =
(100+profit)
100×S.P
=
100+20
100×600
=500Rs
→ selling price of the second book = 600
loss = 20 %
→ cost price =
100−loss
100×S.P
=
100−20
100×600
=750Rs
→ total cost price of two books = 500+750
=1250Rs.
→ total selling price of two books = 600+600
= 1200 Rs
→ here, selling price is less than cost price so
loss.
Loss = C.P. - S.P.
= 1250-1200
= 50 Rs.
→ loss percentage =
C.P
Loss
×100=
1250
50
×100
=4%
Answer:
Loss of 6.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Price of one book= 400/10= 40
2) He sold 5 books at loss = (5*40)-50=150
3) He sold 5 book at profit = (5*40)+25=225
4) Total selling price = 150+225=375
5) Loss = 400-375 = 25
6) Loss percentage = (25/400)*100=6.25%
