Explanation:

Since articles A and B are sold at profit;

Amount received while selling article A = 150 × 1.2 = Rs. 180

Amount received while selling article B = 320 × 1.4 = Rs. 448

Since articles C and D are sold at loss;

Amount received while selling article D = 200 × 0.75 = Rs. 150

∴ Total amount received = 180 + 448 + 156 + 150 = Rs. 934

Since Total cost price of all the articles = 150 + 320 +240 + 200 = Rs. 910

∴ Gross profit percentage = (934 – 910)/910 = 2.63%
