Question

A man buys some toffees at 3 in Re. 1 and same quantity at 3 in Rs 2 and sold them at 1 in Re. 1. Find his gain or loss %.

Answer 1

Let he buy a total of $x$ tofees

Then total cost price $=\frac{x}{2}\times$ ($\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}$) = Rs.$\frac{x}{2}$

And total sale price = Rs.$x$

So gain%=$100$%
