Let the cost price of a saree be Rs. x and the list price of a sweater be Rs. y.
We know that, Selling Price is given by :-S⋅P⋅=C⋅P⋅(1+profitpercentage100)
⇒ S.P. of saree at 8% profit = x(1+8100)
=(x+8x100)=(108x100)
Also, Selling Price is given by :-
S.P.=L.P.(1−discountpercentage100)
⇒ S.P. of sweater at 10% discount =(y−10y100)=(90y100)
According to question,
108x100+90y100=1008
⇒ 108x + 90y = 100800 ...(i)
Now, S.P. of saree at 10% profit =(x+10x100)=(110x100)
S.P. of sweater at 8% discount =(y−8y100)=(92y100)
According to question,
110x100+92y100=1028
⇒ 110x + 92y = 102800 ...(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get ;
(110x + 92y) -(108x + 90y)=102800 -100800.
⇒2x + 2y = 2000
⇒ x + y = 1000
⇒ x = 1000 - y ...(iii)
Substituting x = 1000 - y from equation (iii) in equation (i), we get
108(1000 - y) + 90y = 100800
⇒ 108000 - 108y + 90y = 100800
⇒ -18y = -7200
⇒ y = 400
Putting value of y in equation (iii)
⇒ x = 1000 - 400 = 600
Thus, the cost price of saree is x = Rs.600
and the list price of sweater is y = Rs.400.
