A person sold two cows each for Rs.9900. If he gained 10% on one and lost 20% on the other, then calculate net loss?

Open in App

Solution

The CP of profitable cow $= \frac{9900}{1.1} = 9000$
and profit $=$ Rs. $900$
The CP of loss yielding cow $= \frac{9900}{0.8} = 12375$
and loss $= R s . 2475$
so, the net loss $= 2475 - 900 = 1575$
