Question

The cost price of a box and a pen is Rs 120. The box is sold at 10% profita the pen is sold at 10% loss. If the selling price of the box is Rs 52 more than of the pen, calculate the profit or loss percent in the whole.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.803% Profit

Step-by-step explanation:

First let us calculate total sales, then calculate the total cost, and then divide the two.

Sale: 120*1.1=132 and 52*.9=46.8

Cost: 120 and 52

Profit equation:

$\frac{Net sales-COGS}{Net Sales} =Profit$

$\frac{(132+46.8)-(120+52)}{(132+46.8)}$

Simplify:

$\frac{6.8}{178.8} =.03803$ or 3.803% Profit
