If an article is bought at a profit of 15% and sold at a loss of 15% what is my total profit percent or loss percent?

• in the case if profit and loss is given same then in that case we can put the direct formula given as
  (15*15)/100=2.25

• If profit and loss are successive then the solution is :-
  assume CP = 100
  after 15% profit it becomes 115
  again after 15% loss it becom 85*115/100 = 97.75
  So overall loss
  Loss % = 100-97.75 = 2.25%

• loss%=(commonloss and gain%/10)^2
  so (15/10)^2= 2.25%

• loss %=(x)^2/10=(15)^2/10^2
  =225/100
