Question

Seema sells two cookers for Rs.2574 each. On one she gains 10% and on the other she loses 10%.Find her gain or loss percent in the whole transaction.​

Answer 1

18.18%

Explanation:

Selling price of one coker = Rs.2574

If she loose 10% on one;

%loss = Cost price - Selliing price/cost price * 100

10 =Cp-2574/Cp * 100

10/100 = Cp-2574/Cp

0.1Cp = Cp-2574

0.1Cp - Cp = -2574

-0.9Cp = -2574

Cp = 2574/0.9

Cp = Rs. 2860

Amount lost = 2860-2574 = Rs. 286

If she gains 10% on the second

%loss =Sp-Cp/Cp * 100

10 = 2574-Cp /Cp * 100

10/100 = 2574-Cp /Cp

0.1Cp = 2574-Cp

1.1Cp = 2574

Cp = 2574/1.1

Cp = Rs. 2340

Amount gained = 2340-2574 = Rs. 234

Total Loss = Amount lost - Amount gained

Total loss = 286 - 234

Total loss = Rs. 52

Total loss % = 52/286 * 100

Total loss % = 5200/286

Total loss % = 18.18%
