Question

Nidhi purchased two sarees for ` 2,150 each. She sold one saree at a

loss of 8% and the other at a certain gain. If she had a gain of ` 1,230 on

the whole transaction, find the selling price of the second saree​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. of each saree=2150

loss of a saree=8%

s.p.=92/100*2150

s.p.=1978

loss=2150-1978=172

total gain=1230

s.p.=1402+2150

s.p. of second saree=3552

Answer 2

Answer:

for 1st saree

cp=2150

loss%=8%

loss%= (100*loss)/cp

8=(100*(2150-sp)/2150

sp=1978

gain on both saree is 1230

loss=cp-sp

loss=2130-1978=152

SP=2150+1230-152= 3228
