Vaidegi sold 2 sarees for rupee 2200 each on one she gains 10%and on the other she loses 12%.calculate her gain or loss percentage in the sales

Answer 1

Answer:

2.222% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Saree A:

If Vaidegi  gains 10% on selling it for rs 2200,

then

rs 2200 is 110% of the cost price.

the cost price of saree A can be found as;

if 110% = rs 2200

 100%= ??

$\frac{100*2200}{110}=2000$

Saree B:

If Vaidegi losses 12% on selling it for rs 2200,

then

rs 2200 is 88% of the cost price

the cost price of saree B can be found as;

if 88% = rs 2200

 100%= ??

$\frac{100*2200}{88}=2500$

the combined cost price for the two sarees is

2000+2500= Rs 4500

the combined selling price is

2200*2=Rs 4400

$\frac{S.P-C.P}{C.P}*100\\ \\\frac{4400-4500}{4500}*100=-2.2222%$

her percentage loss in the sales is 2.222%
