Prabhu  (6 years ago)

me --cp of book = Rs 60
me--Sp of book = Rs70 (which is the CP for his/her friend)
me--Profit = sp-cp =70-60=10
so here Cp = Rs 70
then SP = Rs 80
profit/gain=80-70=10
gain% = (gain *100/cp) = (10*100/70) =0.07%

(or)
loss %= ((common loss or gain %)/(10))^2 = (10/10)^2 = 1%
Loss % = 1%

10

Price of the book = Rs. 60
And, Sell of the book = Rs. 70
So, Profit = Rs. 10
Again, 2nd CP = Rs. 80
Hence, the total loss = (80 -70) = 10.
