Question

Varun sold two almirahs for ₹2730 each. on one he lost 9% while on the other he gained 12% . Find his gain and loss percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of both the almirahs = rupees 2790

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

S.P of an almirah= ₹ 2730

Let the CP of one almirah = Rs x

ATQ

on loss of 9%

x - 9x/100 = 2730

(100x -9x )/100 = 2730

91x/100= 2730

91x = 2730 × 100

x= 273000/91

x= 3000

CP =₹ 3000

now,

on gain of 12%

x +12x/100 = 2730

(100x +12x) /100= 2730

112x = 2730× 100

x= 273000/112

x= 2437.5

CP =₹ 2437.5

Total CP of almirah = 3000 + 2437.5= 5,437.5

Total CP of almirah =₹5,437.5

Total SP of almirah = 2730×2 =₹ 5460

SP > CP

Gain = 5460 - 5,437.5 =₹ 22.5

Gain % = (gain /CP)× 100

= (22.5×100)/ 5,437.5 = 2250/5,437.5 =

= 0.41379310344

Gain% = 0.41379310344

Hence, the gain on the whole transaction is = 0.413%
