Answer: 35%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price be "4x".
60% gain on 1/2 of them will be:
(1.60 × 2x) = 3.2x - 2x = 1.2x
20% gain on (1/4) of them will be:
(1.2 × x) = 1.2x - x= 0.2x
Total gain 1.2x + 0.2x = 1.4x
Total gain percent= Gain/Original price =1.4x/4x = 0.35 = 35%
Answer:
-20%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to Harry bought a quantity of fruit.
He sold half, that is 50% but I earn 60%, that is to say that here he made 10% of profits.
Then he sold 1/4 of the total, that is 25% but he took 20% of profits, that is to say that in this case he obtained 5% of losses.
They tell us that the rest was spoiled, that is, 100 - 50 - 25 = 25% was spoiled, and all that is lost, in the end the balance is as follows:
10% - 5% - 25% = -20%
That is to say that in general it lost 20% of the total.
