Answer 1

Answer:

hope it will help u

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 book be 100x

Then the cost of the other = 1040–100x

First book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136x

Second sold at 15% loss , sale value = 85/100 ( 1040- 100x) = 884 -85x

136x = 884 -85x

221x =884

x= 4

ANSWER Rs400 (sold at at36% profit ) + Rs 640 ( sold at 15% loss)

CHECK

400*1.36 = Rs 544

640*0.85 =Rs 544
