A salesman bought 2 dozen television sets at $300 each. He sold two-thirds of them at a 25% profit but was forced to take a 30% loss on the rest. What was his total profit or loss on the television sets?

Well, the first 16 were about 16*75=$1200 extra. The last 8 were $720 lost. Thus, the total profit is $480. He bought them with $7200, which means the profit is around 6.67%.
