    { [(x(10/11)+y(12/9)) / (x+y)] - (x+y) }

    … is the gain or loss, just convert it to a percent by multiplying by 100.

    Purchase 11pcs at a cost price of Rs.10
    purchase 9 pcs at a cost price of Rs.12

    total pcs purchse = 20 at a cost price of 22

    sale @ Re.1 per pcs = Rs.20

    Loss= Cost price-sale price
    =22-20
    =2
    %=loss*100/cost price

    =2*100/22 =9.01%
