Solution

CP of 1st Hockey stick=560
SP of 1st hockey stick= $560 + 15$ % of 560
$=> 644$
CP of 2nd Hockey=240
SP of 2nd Hockey= $240 - 5$ % of 240
$=> 228$
Now,
Total CP=>560+240=800
Total SP=>644+228=872
Here,SP>CP
Therefore,Sachin gains in the whole transaction.
Gain=SP-CP
$=> 872 - 800$
$=> 72$
Gain%= $\frac{72}{800}$ $\times 100$
$=> 9$ %
