two articles are sold one in 10% profit and the other in 20% loss, then what will be the profit or loss in total
---------------
If one of the items was bought for "x" it was sold for 1.1x
If the other item was bought for "y" it was sold for 0.8y
-----
Profit or loss ??
Current value - Original value = profit or loss
(1.1x+0.8y) - (x+y) = 0.1x - 0.2y
