Answer 2

Question :

A cement company earns a profit of rupee 8 per bag of white cement sold and a loss of rupee 5 per bag of grey cement sold.

a)The company sells 3,000 bags of white cement and 5000 bags of grey cement in a month.What its porfit or loss ?

b)What is the number of white cement bags it must sell to have niether profit nor loss.If the number of grey bags are sold is 6,400 bags.

Given :

Profit of 1 bag of white cement = Rupee 8 and loss of 1 bag of grey cement = Rupee 5

Solution :

a) Profit on selling 3000 bags of white cement = 3000 × Rupee 8 = 24000

Loss of selling 5000 bags of grey cement = 5000 × Rupee 5 = 25000

Since Profit < Loss

Therefore,his total loss on selling the grey cement bags = Loss - Profit

= Rupee 25000 - Rupee 24000

= Rupee 1000

Thus,he has lost rupee 1000 on selling the grey cement bags.

b)Let the number of bags of white cement be "x".

According to question,

Loss = Profit

•°• 5 × 6400 = x × 8

x = $\sf{ \dfrac{5×6400}{8}=5000 \ bags}$
