Let's start by calculating the cost of the first 10 boxes, which totals $75, and the next 10 boxes cost $55.

Together, these 20 boxes amount to $130 spent. With $18 remaining, you can purchase 4 more boxes since 18 divided by 4.5 equals 4.

Therefore, the maximum number of boxes you can buy with $148 is 24.

Jai Narayan sells two radio sets for 2288 each.
tester [3916]

Answer:

1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for each radio is $2288.

Total selling price is 2\times 2288=$4576.

Profit is 10%.

Loss is also 10%.

Cost price=\frac{S.P\times 100}{100+gain(in\;percent)}

Cost price=\frac{S.P\times 100}{100-loss(in\;percent)}

Utilizing the formula,

Cost price of the first radio is \frac{2288\times 100}{110}=$2080.

Cost price of the second radio is \frac{2288\times 100}{100-10}=$2542.2.

The combined cost price for both radios totals 2080+2542.2=$4622.2.

Total cost price exceeds total selling price.

Loss equals selling price minus cost price.

Loss is calculated as 4622.2-4576=$46.2.

Loss%=\frac{Loss}{C.P}\times 100

Loss percentage is \frac{46.2}{4622.2}\times 100=1%.

Thus, the loss is 1%.
