profit and loss problem: I bought a book for Rs 60 , I sold off to a friend for Rs 70 but after a while i felt sorry , that i sold it and bought it back for Rs 80, how much loss did I incur?

• -->profit 70-60 = 10
  b p =80-60 =20
  20-10=10 loss.

• cp of book=60
  sp of book=70
  profit=10
  again cp=80
  then loss =80-70=10

• when he sold the book profit=70-60=10
  then againa he bought back the book soo here c.p=70 and s.p=80 for the friend
  loss=80-70=10
  therefore theres neither loss nor profit

• s.p= 70
  c.p=80
  loss =c.p-s.p= 80-70=10
  loss=10 rs

• No loss or profit consider initial cost price 60 not 70.

• 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%

• 70-60=10
  80-60=20
  20-10=10

• 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.

• Loss incurred= 10₹ on 60₹(cost price)
  10/60 × 100 = 16.666..%

  because i got 10 rs profit by selling and rs 20 loss on buying it back
  net loss is rs 10

• total cp = 60+80
  total sp = 70
  cp-sp =140 -70 = 70(loss)

• 80-70=10
  So loss is 10
