Question

2/3 of a consignment was sold at profit of 5%and the remainder at loss of 2%. if the total profit was Rs 400. find the value of consignment in rs​

Answer 1

Answer:

15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consignment = x

2/3x was sold at profit of 5%.

So, now we find SP,

SP = (100 + gain %/100) * CP

SP = (100 + 5/100) * 2/3x

SP = 105/100 * 2/3x

SP = 7/10x

1/3x(left) was sold at loss of 2%.

So, now we find SP,

SP = (100-loss%/100) * 1/3x

SP = (100 - 2/100) * 1/3x

SP = 98/100 * 1/3x

SP = 49/150x

Profit = SP - CP

400 = (7/10x + 49/150x) - x

400 = 77/75x - x

400 = 2/75x

400 ÷ 2/75 = x

400 * 75/2 = x

15000 = x
