Question

Shaily sold to sarees for rupees 2185 each on one saree she lost 5% while on the other she gained 15% find her gain or loss percent on the whole transaction

Answer 1

Answer:

saree no 1

sp = 2185

loss% = 5%

cp = 100×sp/100-loss%

2185 ×100/100-5

218500/95

=2180 rupees

saree no 2 sp= 2185

profit% = 15%

cp= 100×sp/100+profit%

100×2185/100+15

218500/115

=2200 rupees

total sp = 2185×2

=4370

total cp= 2180+2200=4380

cp greater than sp so it is a loss

loss = 4380-4380 =10 rupees

total sp 2
