Question

Reena bought two tables for Rs. 1800 each she sold one at a loss of 8% and the other at a profit of 12% find the selling price of each also find out the total profit or loss

Answer 1

Answer:

Total CP = 3600. (1800x2)

1) sp=1800x92/100=1656

2) sp=1800x112 / 100 =2016

Total Sp=3672

sp>CP. hence profit

Profit =3672-3600 = 72

profit%=72/3600. x100=2%

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit = Rs.360

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cp of a table = Rs.1800

Loss on 1st table = 8%

Profit on 2nd table = 12%

1st table with loss of 8%

Loss = Cp - Sp

144. = 1800-sp

Sp. = Rs.(1800+144)

= Rs.1944

2nd table with a profit of 12%

Profit = 12/100*1800

= Rs.216

Profit = Sp-Cp

216. = Sp-1800

Sp. = 1800+216

= Rs 2016

Total Sp = Rs.(1944+2016)

=Rs.3960

Total Cp = 1800*2

=Rs.3600

Hence, Sp > Cp

So, there is a Profit

Profit = Sp - Cp

=Rs.(3960-3600)

=Rs.360
