for Rs. 5,000. He sold the computer at a profit of 10% and the printer at a loss of 15%. Find the total profit or loss for him in the transaction.Solution
ATQ,
Sum of cost price of the computer and printer = 30000 + 5000 = Rs. 35,000
Selling price of the computer = 30000 × 1.10 = Rs. 33,000
Selling price of the printer = 5000 × 0.85 = Rs. 4,250
Total loss in the transaction = (33000 + 4250) - 35000 = Rs. 250
