Nidhi purchased two sarees for Rs 2150 each. She sold one saree at a loss of 8% and the other at a gain. If she had a gain of Rs 1230 on the whole transaction find the selling price of the second saree?

Let selling price of the second saree be x


The selling price of 1st saree,


The selling price of 1st saree = CP of 1st saree – loss


The selling price of 1st saree


According to the question, she gains Rs. 1230


Gain = selling price – cost price


1230 = (1978 + x)–(2150 + 2150)


1230 + 4300 = 1978 + x


x = 5530–1978


x = Rs. 3552
