loss=10 % of 1/3(450)=15 rs;
20 % of 450 =90;
so total gain + recovery=90+15=105;
therefore (105/300)*100=35 %;
anws is 35%;

35%

If remaining 2/3 part is sold for 'x' then,
(1/3)*450*(90/100) + (2/3)*450*x= 450*(120/100)
x=27/20
%x=100*27/20=135
So gain %= 35

total c.p of goods is Rs.450
on whole transaction we have to get a profit of 20%
i.e.20/100*450=90
so the total amount we have to get is 450+90=540
now, 1/3rd of goods which costs Rs.150 i.e. 1/3rd costprice
here we are selling goods for a loss of 10%
i.e. 10*150/100=15 is loss
we are selling this 1/3rd for Rs.135
total amount we had to get is 540
remaining is 540-135= 405 this should be get on remaining 2/3rd of goods which costs Rs.300
profit percentage = (405-300)/300*100=
35%
