Question

Nidhi purchased two sarees for Rs 2,150 each. She sold one saree at a loss of 8 per cent and the other at a gain. If she had a gain of Rs 1,230 on the whole transaction,find the selling price of the second saree.​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of two sarees=2150×2=5300

in 1 saree she losses 8 per cent

then sp =1978

total profit equals to rupees 1230

hence

(sp1+sp2)-(cp1+cp2)=1230

1978+sp2-4300=1230

sp2-2322=1230

sp2=1230+2322

sp2=3552
