Step-by-step explanation:

the first flat made a profit of 15%.

let x = the cost of the first flat.

you get x + .15*x = 1,000,000

factor out the x to get 1.15 * x = 1,000,000

solve for x to get x = 1,000,000 / 1.15 = 869,565 rounded to the nearest dollar.

the second flat made a loss of 15%.

let y = the cost of the second flat.

you get y - .15*y = 1,000,000

factor out the y to get:

.85 * y = 1,000,000.

solve for y to get y = 1,000,000 / .85 = 1,176,471 rounded to the nearest dollar.

her total cost was 869,565 + 1,176,471 = 2,046,036.

her total revenue was 2,000,000.

her net profit was 2,000,000 - 2,046,036 = -46036.

her profit percent was -46036 / 2,046,036 * 100 = -2.25 percent.

a negative profit is equal to a positive loss, so her net loss was 46036 and her loss percent was 2.25 percent.

she lost 2.25% of her initial investment on the deal.

flat 1 = 869565.21, flat 2 = 1176470.58 (DONE BY RATIO METHOOD)

Step-by-step explanation:

purchased price of flat 1: sale of flat 2

100:115

x=100,000,000/115

x=869,565.21

purchased price of flat 2:sale price of flat 2

100:85

   x:1,000,000

85x=100×1,000,000

x=100,000,000/85

x=1,176,470.588
