Question

Varun sold two almirahs for rupees 2730 on one he lost 9% while on the other he gained 15% find his gain or loss on the whole transaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 5,373.91

Step-by-step explanation:

★ Given:-

S.P of an almirah = ₹ 2730

★ Assuming:-

Let the CP of one almirah = ₹ x

★ According to question:-

On loss of 9%

x - 9x / 100 = 2730

(100x - 9x ) / 100 = 2730

91x / 100 = 2730

91x = 2730 × 100

x = 273000/91

Therefore, CP = ₹ 3000

★ Now,

On gain of 15%

x + 15x / 100 = 2730

(100x +15x) /100 = 2730

115x = 2730 × 100

x = 273000 / 115

Therefore, CP = ₹ 2,373.91

Total CP of almirah = 3000 + 2,373.91

Total CP of almirah = ₹ 5,373.91
