Question

Two pens were purchased for Rs. 20 each
If one was sold at 15% gain and other at
12% loss, over all the percent of gain or
loss is​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 % profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Cp = 20 rs

1 pen at 15% profit = 1.15 * 20    =  23 rs

1 pen at 12% loss = 0.88 * 20 = 17.6  rs

Now , total Cp = 20  + 20 = 40 rs

Total Sp = 23 + 17.6 = 40.6

Profit = 0.6 Rs

Profit percentage = (0.6/40) * 100

                             = 0.015 * 100

                             = 1.5 % profit
