Question

A man sold two houses for $195500 each.he gained 15% On one house and lost 15%on the other.%

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sp of each house=rs 195500

let cp of first house be rs X

so,

115x/100=199550

X=199550×100/115

x=170000

so,

co of first house is rs 170000

also let the cp of second house be rs y

so,

85x/100=1995500

x=1995500×100/85

x=230000

so,co of second house is rs230000

so,

total cp=rs(195500×2)

rs391000

so,

loss=rs(400000-391000)

=rs9000

so,

loss percentage =9000/400000×100

2.25percentage
