Question

14. Pratiksha sells two sarees for 8,900 each; gaining 20% on one and losing 20% on other. Find her gain or loss
percent on the whole transaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

She lose 741.67 in whole transaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

here;given, sp of each saree = Rs 8900

on the first saree, gain =20%

By the meaning of 20% gain,

S. P = 120% of C. p

or, S. P = 120% of C. P

8900=120÷100 ×C. P

C.p = 8900×100÷120

C.P = 7416.67

thus, the cp of first saree is 7416.67

Again, SP of second saree =8900

loss percent =20%

By the meaning of 20% loss,

SP = 80% of CP

8900= 80÷100×CP

CP = 8900×100÷80

CP = 11125

thus, the CP of second saree is 11125

Now, the total CP = 7416.67+11125=18541.67

Total SP =2×8900=17800

Here, CP >SP SO, loss is made
