Question 58

Two articles are sold for ₹10,384 each. On one,the seller gains 18% and onthe other, he loses 12%. Whatis his overall gain or loss?

Solution

Selling price of both articles =10,384 
Now let cost price be C1 and C2
Now C1(1.18) = 10,384
soC1=8800
Now C2(0.88) =10,384
we get C2 = 11,800
Now total cost price =20,600
Total selling price =20,768
So as selling price > cost price
He had a profit = 20,768-20,600 =168
