So first let me assume that the Total profit of the racquets are 8 percentage and not individually.

Now to find the profit we can do

20 x 100= 2000

Now
8=x/2000*100
X= 160

And now for loss
10x80=800

Now

15= x/800*100
X=120

Now profit =

160-120 = 40

The profit was only 40

Answer:

$ 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Rackets:

      Cost Price (CP)  = $ 100

              Profit percent =  8%

       Profit = 8% * 100 = [tex]\frac{8}{100}*100 = 8[/tex]

Profit for one racket =$8

Profit for 20 rackets = 8*20 = $ 160

Bags:

CP = $ 80

Loss percent = 15%

[tex]Loss = \frac{15}{100}*80=12[/tex]

Loss for 10 bags = 12 * 10 = $ 120

The profit in the combined transaction = 160 - 120 = $ 40
