LOSS=2150x8/100=172
NET GAIN=1230
i.e. TOTAL GAIN ON SECOND SAREE=1230+172=1402
i.e. SP OF SECOND SAREE=2150+1402=3552
Answer:
The selling price of second saree is Rs.3552.
Step-by-step explanation:
CP of saree 1 = Rs.2150
Loss = 8%
SP = CP - Loss
SP =
SP of saree 1 = 1978
CP of saree 2 is Rs.2150
We are given that she had a gain of Rs 1230 on the whole transaction .
(SP of saree 1 +SP of saree 2)-(CP of saree 1 + CP of saree 2 ) = 1230
(1978 +SP of saree 2)-(2150+ 2150) = 1230
(1978 +SP of saree 2)-4300= 1230
(1978 +SP of saree 2)= 1230+4300
SP of saree 2 = 1230+4300 - 1978 = 3552
Hence selling price of second saree is Rs.3552.
