transport. He sold both tables and chain
each at a rate of Rs. 380. Is it a gain or
s
and how much?​

Answer 1

Answer: 240

Step-by-step explanation:Calculating cost price:-

It is given that, cost price of each table = Rs. 500

Number of tables bought = 15

So, total money spent in buying tables = Rs. (15 * 500) = Rs. 7500

And, cost price of each chair = Rs. 300

Number of chairs bought = 20

So, total money spent in buying chairs = Rs. (20 * 300) = Rs. 6000

Money spent on transportation = Rs. 40

Hence, total cost price = (Total most spent in buying tables) + (Total money spent in buying chairs) + (Money spent in transportation)

=> Total CP = Rs. (7500 + 6000 + 40)

=> Total CP = Rs. 13540

Calculating selling price:-

It is given that, while selling, the SP of both the tables and chairs was Rs. 380 each.

So, total number of (tables + chairs) = 15 + 20 = 35

Selling price of each table/chair = Rs. 380

Total SP = Rs. (35 * 380)

=> Total SP = Rs. 13300

Calculating gain or loss:-

As CP > SP, the shopkeeper has suffered loss.

Loss = CP - SP

=> loss = Rs. (13540 - 13300)

=> Loss = Rs. 240 Ans.
