If a man sells two horses for rs 3910 each gaining 15% in one and losing 15% on another find total gain or loss%

• using the 100 concept
  let the cost price of each table be rs 100
  the first table is sold at 15 % gain so its selling price would be 115.
  also it is given that selling price of table is 3910.
  Now 3910/115=34.
  so cost price of 1st table is 100*34= 3400.
  Now the second table is sold at a loss of 15% so selling price of second table is 85.
  Now 3910/85 =43
  cost price of 1st table is 100*46= 4600.
  now total cost =3400+4600=8000
  total selling price= 3910*2=7820.
  so loss= 8000-7820=180.
