Question

Two computers were purchased for rupees 16,000 each. One was sold at a gain of 5% and other at a loss of 4%. Find the overall gain or loss percent in the whole transaction.

Answer 1

SP of one computer = 1600 x 105/100 = Rs.1680

Sp of other computer = 1600 x 96/100 = Rs.1536

SP of 2 computer = 1680 + 1536 = Rs.3216

CP of 2 computer = 2 x 1600 = Rs.3200

Profit = 3216 - 3200 = Rs.16

Gain percent = 16/1600 x 100 = 1%

Answer 2

answer is 1%..........
