Answer 1

Answer:

loss of 90 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

CP=COST PRICE

SP=SELLING PRICE

For a quintal of wheat

1. selling price =3080 rupees
2. profit =12%
3. cp of wheat is z .

CP. SP

100. 112.

z 3080

cross multiply

100 * 3080 = 122 * z

* means multiply

3080*100/112=z

2750=z

PROFIT = SP-Cp

=3080-2750

=330 rupees

FOR QUINTAL OF RICE

1. selling price =3080 rupees
2. loss%=12%
3. cp of rice =y

CP. SP.

100. 88

y. 3080.

cross multiply

3080*100=88*y

* means multiply

3080*100/88=y

3500=y

LOSE =CP-SP

=3500-3080

=420 rupees

profit < lose

so total lose =420-330

=90 rupees

ANS: THERE IS A LOSS OF 90 RUPEES
