Question

Nidhi purchased two sarees for Rs 2150 each. She sold one saree at a loss of 8% and the other at a gain. If she had a gain of Rs 1230 on the whole transaction ,find the selling price of the second saree.

Answer 1

CP OF A SAREE=2150
LOSS=2150x8/100=172
NET GAIN=1230
i.e. TOTAL GAIN ON SECOND SAREE=1230+172=1402
i.e. SP OF SECOND SAREE=2150+1402=3552

Answer 2

Answer:

The selling price of second saree is Rs.3552.

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of saree 1 = Rs.2150

Loss = 8%

SP = CP - Loss

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

SP of saree 1  = 1978

CP of saree 2 is Rs.2150

We are given that she had a gain of Rs 1230 on the whole transaction .

(SP of saree 1 +SP of saree 2)-(CP of saree 1 + CP of saree 2 ) = 1230

(1978 +SP of saree 2)-(2150+ 2150) = 1230

(1978 +SP of saree 2)-4300= 1230

(1978 +SP of saree 2)= 1230+4300

SP of saree 2 = 1230+4300 - 1978 = 3552

Hence selling price of second saree is Rs.3552.
