  Profit and loss

  Posted by Aditi on June 23, 2023 at 12:45 pm

  A store bought a batch of 2000 identical products at a cost price of ₹10 each. The store then sold 100 of these products at a selling price of ₹15 each and the remaining 20 products at a selling price of ₹20 each. Calculate the overall profit or loss percentage made by the store on the entire batch of products.

  Total no. Of products that is bought by store = 2000

  Price of one product= 10 rs

  Then the total cost of all products will be = 2000*10 = 20000

  Now-

  Store sold 100 products at 15rs –

  Then earn = 100*15 = 1500

  And

  Sold 20 products at 20rs –

  Then earn = 20*20 = 400

  Total earning = 1500 + 400 = 1900

  We know –

  loss/profit = total revenue – total cost

  Loss/profit = 1900 – 20000= -18100

  Mean store are in loss with ( – 18100) rs…

  Then

  Percentage of loss = ( loss/toal cost)*100

  Percentage of loss = (-18100/20000) = -90.5

  Then Total percentage of loss will be -90.5
