Answers
Answer:
1%
Step-by-step explanation:
Here , it is clear that there are 2 sarees sold .
S.P of each saree = Rs 7000.
Therefore , the S.P of 2 sarees = 7000 ×2 = Rs 14000.
As you know , the formula of C P = S.P/ 100 + gain% { - loss%} ×100
Now , putting that formula on
C.P of 1st saree = {7000/ 100 - 10} × 100
= 7000/90 × 100
= Rs 7777.77
C.P of 2nd saree= {7000/ 100+10} × 100
= 7000/ 110 × 100
= Rs 6363.63
Now, calculating the whole C.P
Rs{7777.77 + 6363.63}
Rs 14141.4
Now, as you can see
C.P > S.P
So, there is a gain of
C.P - S.P
Rs 14141.4 - Rs 14000
Rs 141.4
Now , calculating the gain %
= 141.4 × 100 / 14141.4
= 0.999 %
So, we can estimate 0.999% to 1 %
Therefore, 1% is the answer
