Question

Laxmi sold two sarees for Rs 2185 each. On one she lost 5%, while on the other she gained 15%. find her gain or loss percent in the whole transaction.

Answer 1

It may be 2185000 according to that.

Answer 2

Hi...

x*95/100=2185

x=2185*100/95 = Rs2300

2nd saree

x2*115/100=2185

x2 = 2185*100/115 = 1900

overall cost price = x+x2

2300 + 1900 = 4200

overall selling price = 2185*2 = 4370

gain/loss % = 4200*x/100=4370

x=4370*100/4200

= 104.04

therefore gain % = 4.04%
