The Two Aeroplanes Puzzle

A man recently bought two aeroplanes, but afterwards found that they would not answer the purpose for which he wanted them.

So he sold them for £600 each, making a loss of 20 per cent, on one machine and a profit of 20 per cent, on the other.

Did he make a profit on the whole transaction, or a loss?

And how much?
