  1. A shopkeeper purchased a TV for $ 2,000 and a radio for $ 750. He sells the TV at a profit of 20% and the radio at a loss of 5%. The total loss or gain is
    1. Gain $ 352.50
    2. Gain $ 362.50
    3. Loss $ 332
    4. Loss $ 300
Correct Option: B

Given , C.P. of TV = $ 2000

∴ S.P. of TV = 2000 ×
120
= $ 2400
100

C.P. of radio = $ 750
∴ S.P. of radio =
750 × 95
= $ 712.5
100

Total S.P. = 2400 + 712.5 = $ 3112.50
Total C.P. = 2000 + 750 = $ 2750
∴ Gain = Total S.P. - Total C.P. = 3112.5 – 2750 = $ 362.50
