Question

Yadayya sells two cows for
Rupees 15000.Ha gains10percent on the first cow and losses 10percent on the second. Find his gain or loss percent on the whole transaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.99% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of first cow = Rs.15000

Gain = 10%

=> 110% of CP = 15000

=> 110/100 CP = 15000

=> CP = 13636.36

Hence, CP of first cow = Rs.13636.36

SP of second cow = Rs.15000

Loss = 10%

=> 90% of CP = 15000

=> 90/100 CP = 15000

=> CP = 16666.67

Hence, CP of second cow = Rs.16666.67

Total CP = Rs.(13636.36 + 16666.67) = Rs.30303.03

Total SP = Rs.30000

CP > SP

Hence, loss = CP - SP = Rs.(30303.03 - 30000) = Rs.303.03

Loss% = (303.03 / 30303.03 * 100) % = 0.99%
