Question

nidhi purchased two sarees for rupees 2150 each. she sold one saree at a loss of 8% and the other at a gain.if she had a gain of ₹1230 on the whole transaction,find the selling price of the second saree

Answer 1

CP1= 2150
CP2=2150

Loss=8%

SP1=[(100-L%)/100] *CP1=[(100-8)/100]*2150=Rs. 1978

Total Profit =Rs. 1230

Hence, 

(SP1+SP2) - (CP1+CP2) = 1230

(1978+SP2) - (2150+2150) = 1230

1978 + SP2 - 4300 =1230

SP2 - 2322 = 1230

SP2=Rs. 3552
