उत्तर
In the case of the first tape-recorder:
S.P. = Rs.990
Gain = 10%
C.P. =`100/((100+"gain"%))xx"S.P."`
`=100/((100+10))xx"Rs."990="Rs."100/110xx990`
= Rs. 100 × 9 = Rs.900
In the case of the second tape-recorder:
S.P. = Rs.990
Loss = 10%
C.P. =`100/((100-"Loss"%))xx"S.P."`
`=100/((100-10))xx"Rs."990=100/90xx990`
= 100 × 11 = Rs.1100
Total C.P. of both the tape-recorders
= Rs.900 + Rs.1100 = Rs.2000
Total S.P. of both the tape-recorders
= Rs.990 + Rs.990 = Rs.1980
Loss on the whole transaction
= C.P. − S.P.
= Rs.2000 − Rs.1980
= Rs. 20
Loss% =`"Loss"/"C.P."xx100`
`=("Rs."20)/("Rs."2000)xx100=2/2%=1%`

If selling price = ₹ 900. Discount is 20%, then find the marked price.
After offering discount of 10% on marked price, a customer gets total discount of 17 rupees. To find the cost price for the customer, fill in the following boxes with appropriate numbers and complete the activity.
Suppose, marked price of the item = 100 rupees
Therefore, for customer that item costs `square` - `square` = 90 rupees
Hence, when the discount is `square` then the selling price is `square` rupees.
Suppose when the discount is `square` rupees, the selling price is x rupees.
∴ `x/square=square/square`
∴ x = `(squarexxsquare)/square`
∴ x = `square`
∴ the customer will get the item for 153 rupees.
