Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost price of the two tables is Rs. 1818.182 and the loss incurred is 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each table is Rs. 900.

Total selling price = Rs. 1800.

Consider the 1st table was sold at a profit of 10% and the 2nd at a loss of 10%.

Compute the cost price of each table as follows:

• Consider the 1st table:

          $900=CP_{1}(1+\frac{10}{100})\\ 900=CP_{1}\times 1.1\\CP_{1}=818.182$

• Consider the 2nd table:

          $900=CP_{2}(1-\frac{10}{100})\\ 900=CP_{2}\times 0.9\\CP_{2}=1000$

The total cost price = CP₁ + CP₂ = 818.182 + 1000 = 1818.182.

As the total cost price is more than the total selling price the seller incurred a loss.

Loss = SP - CP = 1818.182 - 1800 = 18.182

Compute the loss percent as follows:

$Loss\%=\frac{Loss}{CP} \times100=\frac{18.182}{1818.182}\times 100= 1\%$

Thus, the loss percent is 1%.
