Could some one derive the formula or explain the following formula:
If two similar articles are sold, one at a gain of A% and another at a loss of A%, then always loss is incurred and loss percent = (A*A)/100%.
If two similar articles are sold, one at a gain of A% and another at a loss of A%, then always loss is incurred and loss percent = (A*A)/100%.
