Answer 1

░▒▓█ HERE IS THE ANSWER █▓▒░

 CP of 1st jean = 725

Gain = 8%

SP = CP + Profit

SP = 725 + 8 /100 * 725

SP = 783

CP of 2nd Jeans = 725

Loss = 4%

CP - SP = Loss

SP = CP - Loss

SP = 725 - 4/100 *725

SP = 696

Total CP = 725 + 725 = 1450

Total SP =  783 + 696 = 1479

SP - CP = Profit

Profit = 1479 - 1450 = 29.

Profit% = 29 / 1450 *100

=  1 * 100 /50

= 2%

Ans: Gain of 2%

Please
 

Cheers!

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

CP of 1st jean = 725

Gain = 8%

SP = CP + Profit

SP = 725 + 8 /100 * 725

SP = 783

CP of 2nd Jeans = 725

Loss = 4%

CP - SP = Loss

SP = CP - Loss

SP = 725 - 4/100 *725

SP = 696

Total CP = 725 + 725 = 1450

Total SP =  783 + 696 = 1479

SP - CP = Profit

Profit = 1479 - 1450 = 29.

Profit% = 29 / 1450 *100

=  1 * 100 /50

= 2%

Ans: Gain of 2%
