Anusha purchased a television and a camera for ₹12,000 and ₹8,000, respectively. She sold the television at a loss of 10 percent, and the camera at a profit of 12 per cent. What was her overall loss/profit?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
