Some toffees are bought at the rate of 11 for Rs 10 and the same number at the rate of 9 for Rs 10. If the whole lot is sold at one rupee per toffee, find the gain or loss %.

• suppose 99 toffees are bought in 2 lots for Rs 90+ 110 = Rs 200.
  Total 2*99= 198 toffees are sold for Rs 198, then
  loss = Rs 2
  
  % loss = 100*2/200 = 1%

  Explanation:
  Suppose 99 toffees of each type are purchased i.e total number toffees will be 198.
  Cost of 99 toffees bought at the rate of 11 for Rs 10 = 10*99/11 = Rs. 90
  Cost of 99 toffees bought at the rate of 9 for Rs 10 = 10*99/9 = Rs. 110
  So total 198 toffees are bought for 99+110= Rs. 200
  Selling price of 198 toffees sold at one rupee per toffee = Rs.198
  Thus there is loss of Rs. 2
  Loss % = (2/200) * 100 = 1 %

• 1. 99 toffees for 90Rs
  2. 99 toffees for 110Rs
  Cp of 198 toffees for 200Rs.
  Sp of 198 toffees is 198rs.
  Loss - 2rs
  loss % is 2/200 * 100 = 1% Loss
