Question

Vaidegi sold two sarees for $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:

3.59 percent loss as cp is 4564 and sp is 4400

Answer 2

Answer:

Loss of 2.22 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of first sari = x dollars

Its selling price = $2200,

Gain percentage = 10%,

Thus, 110% of x = 2200

$\frac{110}{100}x=2200$

$x=\frac{220000}{110}=2000$

So, the cost price of first sari = $ 2000,

Similarly, Let the price of first sari = y dollars,

Its selling price = $ 2200,

Loss % = 12%,

Thus, (100-12)% of y = 2200

⇒ 88% of y = 2200

$\implies y=\frac{220000}{88}=2500$

So, the cost price of second sari = $ 2500,

Thus, the total cost price = 2000 + 2500 = $ 4500,

And, total selling price = 2200 + 2200 = $ 4400,

Hence, the change percentage = $\frac{4400-4500}{4500}\times 100$

$=\frac{-10000}{4500}$

= -2.22 %

I.e. there is a loss of 2.22 % in total.
