Overall loss percent =( Profit %× Loss %)∕100 Solution: Let the selling price (SP) of each dog be ₹100. For the first dog (22\% profit): Cost Price (CP)=(100×100)∕122=10000∕122 For the second dog (22\% loss): Cost Price (CP)=(100×100)∕78=10000∕78 Total Selling Price =100+100=₹200 Total Cost Price =10000∕122+10000∕78 =(780000+1220000)∕9516 =2000000∕9516≈210.2 Loss =210.2−200=10.2 Loss Percentage =(10.2∕210.2)×100≈4.84%
