Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling PRICE of WATCH A and watch B= RS. 425

Let COST price of watch A=x

Profit =10%

∴

100

110

x=425

x=386.36

Let cost price of watch B=y

Loss =10%

∴

100

y=425

y=472.22

Net cost price =x+y=858.5858

Net selling price =850

Loss%=

858.58

858.5858−850

×100=1%
