=0

Answer 2

Answer:

$1500,loss

Step-by-step explanation:

For first horse,

gain %=2%

S.P=$18000

Let C.P=x

S.P=(120/100) * x=$18000

--->(100*120)*18000--->$15000

For second horse,

loss%=20%

S.P=$18000

Let C.P=x

S.P=(80/100)  *x=$18000

-->18000(100/80)

--->$22500

Total C.P=22500+15000-->$37500

Total S.P=18000+18000-->$36000

C.P>S.P

Therefore, loss

Loss=C.P=S.P

37500-36000

-->$1500

Loss percent=(Loss/C.P)*100

-->4.16%
