Anusha purchased a television and a camera for 12,000 and 8,000, respectively. Cost price of television = 12,000 Cost price of camera = 8,000 She sold the television at a loss of 10 percent and the camera at a profit of 12 percent. Selling price of television = 12,000 of (100-10)% =12,000 of 90% = 10800 Selling price of camera = ₹8,000 of (100+12)% =8,000 of 112% = 8960 Cost price of camera and television = 12,000 + 8,000 = 20,000 Selling price of camera and television = 8960 + 10800 = 19760 Here the Cost price is more than Selling price. So overall loss = 20,000 - 19760 = 240 |
