Question

Veena bought pens for Rs 200 and pencils for Rs 50 . She sold the pens at a gain of 10 percent and pencils at a loss of 20 percent. Fund her total gain or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4% gain

Step-by-step explanation:

c.p of pen=200

s.p of pen (10% extra)=200+20

=220

c.p of pencil=50

s.p of pencil(20% less)=50-10

=40

total cost price=200+50=250

total selling price=220+40=260

=(260/250)*100

=104%(4%extra)

Thus, Profit 4%.
