Question

Ritu sold two sarees for rupees 2185 on one she lost 5% while on others she gain 15% .find her gain or loss percent in whole transaction​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P. of sarees=Rs.2185

Lloss%=5m%

∴C.P.of first saree =S.P.×100/100−Loss%

=Rs.2185×100/100−5

=Rs.2185×100/95=Rs.2300

S.P.of second saree =Rs.2185

Gain%=15%

%=15%∴C.P of second saree =S.P×100/100+gain%

%=Rs.2185×100/100+15

=Rs.2185×100/115=Rs.1900

.1900Total cost price of two saree =Rs.2300

+Rs.1900=Rs.4200

.4200and total selling price =Rs.2185

+Rs.2185=Rs.4370

.4370Gain =S.P. -C.P. =Rs. 4370-Rs.4200

=Rs.170

Gain%=Gain×100/C.P

=170×100/4200=170/42=85/21%=41/21% Ans
