SP of one helmet = 1232
SP of two helmets = 1232 × 2 = 2464
CP of first helmet = 1232 × 100/112 = 1100
CP of second helmet = 1232 × 100/88 = 1400
Total CP of two helmets = 1100 + 1400 = 2500
As we know, loss = CP - SP
∴ Loss = 2500 - 2464 = 36
SP of two helmets = 1232 × 2 = 2464
CP of first helmet = 1232 × 100/112 = 1100
CP of second helmet = 1232 × 100/88 = 1400
Total CP of two helmets = 1100 + 1400 = 2500
As we know, loss = CP - SP
∴ Loss = 2500 - 2464 = 36
