Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

otal C.P=Rs.750

There is profit of 10 percent on A,So S.P=(350*110)/(100)=385.

There is loss of x percent on B,So S.P=(400*(100-x))/(100)=4(100-x)

Total S.P=385+4(100-x)=785–4x

So now its given that overall loss is incured,

Total C.P >Total S.P

Loss =C.P-S.P

=750-(785–4x)

=-35+4x

Hence 109=-35+4x

x=36
