Laxmi sold two sarees for₹2185 each.on one lost 5% while other he gainef15% find gain or losspercent in whole transaction.

Answer 1

Given,
S.P (1 saree) = Rs. 2185

Case I:

S.P of one saree = 2185
loss = 5%


Case II:

S.P = 2185
gain = 15%


Now,
Total S.P = 4370
Total C.P = 1900 + 2300
               = 4200
Gain = S.P - C.P
        = 4370-4200
        = 170
Gain % = gain/C.P x 100
             = 170/4200 x 100
             = 4.04 %
