Answer 1

Answer:

loss was of 90rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price of first cow sold for Rs 1955 and making a profit of 15% =(1955×100)/115= Rs 1700

Cost Price of second cow sold for Rs 1955, incurring a loss of 15% = (1955× 100)/85 = Rs 2300.

Total cost Price of the two cows = Rs 1700 + Rs 2300 = Rs 4,000/

Total sale price of the two cows = Rs 1955 × 2 = Rs 3910

Loss on the deal = Cost Price -Sale Price = Rs 4000 - Rs 3910 = Rs 90.
