and the other at a gain. If she had a gain of 1,230 on the whole transaction, find
the selling price of the second saree.​

Answer 1

Answer:

S.P of 2nd Saree = Rs.3552

Given:

Nidhi purchased two sarees for Rs.2150 each

She sold one at loss of 8% and other at gain and she had a gain of Rs1230 on whole transaction

To find:

S.P of the 2nd Saree

Solution:-

C.P of 1st Saree=Rs.2150

Loss=8%

$s.p =c.p \times \frac{100 - loss\%}{100}$

$= 2150 \times \frac{100 - 8}{100}$

$= 2150 \times \frac{92}{100}$

$= 1978$

S.P of 1st Saree=Rs. 1978

Now

Let 2nd Saree S.P be x

profit of Rs.1230

We know that

Total S.P-Total C.P=Total Profit

$(1978 + x) - (2 \times 2150) = 1230$

$1978 + x - 4300 = 1230$

$x - 2322 = 1230$

$x = 1230 + 2322$

$x = 3552$
