Question

reena purchase two sarees for rupees 2150 each. she sold one saree at loss of 8% and other of the gain. if she had a gain of 1230 rupees on whole transactions. find selling prices ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of saree 1 = Rs.2150

Loss = 8%

SP = CP - Loss

SP = 2150-\frac{8}{100} \times 21502150−

100

8

×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.
