Question

Luxmi sold two sarees for Rs 1980 each. On one, she lost 10%, while on the other she gained 10%. Find her gain or loss in the whole transaction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss on first saree = 10/100 × 1980 = 198 rupees

cost of saree = 1980 - 198 = 1782rupees

profit on second saree = 10/100 × 1980 = 198 rupees

cost of saree = 1980 + 198 = 2178 rupees

cost of both sarees = 1980 + 1980 = 3960 rupees

selling price of both sarees = 3960 - 3960 = 0

so she has neither gained nor lossed
