Question

Usha bought two sarees for rupees 1600 each . she sold one for rupees 1300 and the other for rupees 1800 . find overall profit and loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a loss of 3.125 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Usha's total expenditure on both sarees = 1600 × 2 = 3200 rs

Usha's Total Sp = 1800 + 1300 = 3100 rs

So, There is a loss as cp us more than sp

Loss = Cp - Sp

Loss = 3200 - 3100 = 100 rs

$loss\% = (\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100)\%$

$loss\% = \frac{100}{3200} \times 100 \\ = > loss \% = \frac{100}{32} = 3.125\%$
