hema bought 2 pairs of jeans for rs 725each she sold one of them at a gain of 8% and the other at

a loss of 4% find her gain or loss percent on the whole transaction

ans gain of 2%

 CP of 1st jean = 725

Gain = 8%

SP = CP + Profit

SP = 725 + 8 /100 * 725

SP = 783

CP of 2nd Jeans = 725

Loss = 4%

CP - SP = Loss

SP = CP - Loss

SP = 725 - 4/100 *725

SP = 696

Total CP = 725 + 725 = 1450

Total SP =  783 + 696 = 1479

SP - CP = Profit

Profit = 1479 - 1450 = 29.

Profit% = 29 / 1450 50    * 100

=  1 * 100 /50

= 2%

Ans: Gain of 2%

Please give me thumbs up.
