Question 357002: A closing factory sold two used machines for $1200 each. One machine brings 20%
profit; the other 20% loss. How much is total profit or loss? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Break-even. One machine sold for 1.2*1200 = 1440 and the other sold for 0.8*1200 = 960, for a total revenue of 2400. But this is just equal to the total sale price for the two machines, 1200+1200 = 2400. Therefore no loss or profit.
