Question

John brought two horses at 20000 he sold one Hall at 15% gain but he sold to sell the second or at a loss if he had suffered a loss of rupees 1800 on the whole transaction one selling price of the second horse

Answer 1

Profit on first horse = 20,000*15%
15/100 * 20000= Rs. 3000
SP = 23000 
Loss on the second horse = x 
SP= CP-loss
SP= 20000-x 
SP of both = 23000+20000-x
CP of both = 40000 
CP-SP=Loss = 1800 
40000-(43000-x)= 1800
40000-43000+x=1800
-3000+x=1800
x= 4800 
SP= cp-loss
SP= 20000-4800
SP= 15200
He sold second horse for Rs. 15200. 00
