Step-by-step explanation:
Sita bought a sofa set for Rs 30,000 and sold the sofa set at a loss of 5%. The loss on the sofa will be:
= 5% × 30000
= 5/100 × 30000
= 0.05 × 30000
= 1500
Selling price of the sofa = 30000 - 1500 = 28500
Sita bought a dining set for Rs 20,000 and made a profit of 5% on the dining set. The selling price of the dining set will be:
= 20000 + (5% × 20000)
= 20000 + (0.05 × 20000)
= 20000 + 1000
= 21000
The cost price of the sofa and dining set will be:
= Rs 20000 + Rs 30000
= Rs 50000
The selling price of the dining set will be:
= Rs 28500 + Rs 21000
= Rs 49500
The net result of the transaction is will be:
Selling price - Cost price
= 49500 - 50000
= -500
There's a net loss of $500
