Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question is 2.69% Loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question,

Sunita bought a study table and sold it for 1250 and got a 15% profit. Then, she again bought a bed and sold it for 5480 and got a 5% loss.

Now, before we find the Gain% we have to first find the Cost price of both the items and the amount spent by her to buy both the items.

C.P of the table:-

S.P of table = 1250

Gain% = 15%

C.P = S.P X 100/ (100 + Gain%)

C.P = 1250 x 100/(100 + 15%)

C.P = 1086.95

The cost price of the table is 1086.95.

C.P of Bed =

S.P of Bed = 5480

Loss = 5%

C.P = S.P X 100/(100 - Loss%)

C.P = 5480 X 100/(100 - 6%)

C.P = 5829.78

C.P of Bed = 5829.78

Amount spent by Sunita to buy these two items = 6916.73

Amount she got after selling both the items = 6730

Since C.P  is greater than S.P,it is a Loss.

Loss = C.P - S.P

Loss = 6916.73 - 6730

Loss = 186.73

Loss% = Loss x 100/C.P

Loss% = 186.73 x 100/6916.73

Loss% = 18673/6916.73

Loss% = 2.69%

Sunita got a total of  2.69% loss.
