Question

Sukriti sold two bicycles at Rs.3750 each. She gained 25% in first
bicycle and lost 25% on another bicycle. How much does she loss
or gain in the total price?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Rs. 500 loss

Step-by-step explanation:

SP is 3750

First case, 25% gain with CP of x:

• 3750 = 1.25x
• x = 3750/1.25
• x = 3000

Gain amount:

• 3750 - 3000 = 750

Second case , 25% loss with CP of x:

• 3750 = 0.75x
• x = 3750/0.75
• x = 5000

Loss amount:

• 5000 - 3750 = 1250

Total loss is the difference between gain and loss:

• 1250 - 750 = 500
