Q23 of 90 Page 133

Mr. Mehta purchased a video for Rs 20000 and television for Rs 30000. On the video, he lost 5%, and on the television he gained 8%. Find his total gain or loss per cent.

CP of video = Rs. 20000



Selling price = CP – lost


= 20000 – 1000


= Rs. 19000


For TV


CP of TV = Rs. 30000



Selling price = 30000 + 2400


= Rs. 32400


Therefore total CP


= 20000 + 30000


= Rs. 50000


Total SP,


= 19000 + 32400


= Rs. 51400


SP > CP so it must be gained


So, percentage profit




= 2.8 %
