Solution

Latika bought a teapot = Rs 120
and a set of cups = Rs 400
She sold teapot at a profit of 5%.
So, selling price of teapot $= \frac{5}{100} \times 120 + 120$
$= \frac{120}{20} + 120$
= 6 + 120 = Rs 126
Also, she sold cups at a loss of 5%.
So, selling price of cups $= 400 - \frac{5}{100} \times 400$
= 400 - 20 = Rs 380
Then, the total amount received by her = Rs 126 + Rs 380 = Rs 506
