Answer:

hey friend your answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 book be 100x

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100x

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100xFirst book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136x

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100xFirst book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136xSecond sold at 15% loss , sale value = 85/100 ( 1040- 100x) = 884 -85x

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100xFirst book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136xSecond sold at 15% loss , sale value = 85/100 ( 1040- 100x) = 884 -85x136x = 884 -85x

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100xFirst book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136xSecond sold at 15% loss , sale value = 85/100 ( 1040- 100x) = 884 -85x136x = 884 -85x221x =884

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100xFirst book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136xSecond sold at 15% loss , sale value = 85/100 ( 1040- 100x) = 884 -85x136x = 884 -85x221x =884x= 4

Let the cost of 1 book be 100xThen the cost of the other = 1040–100xFirst book sold at 36% profit, sale value = 136xSecond sold at 15% loss , sale value = 85/100 ( 1040- 100x) = 884 -85x136x = 884 -85x221x =884x= 4ANSWER Rs400 (sold at at36% profit ) + Rs 640 ( sold at 15% loss)
