per bag of orange & a loss of Rs. 4 per bag
of grapes sold. What is the number of bags
of oranges to be sold to have neither profit
nor loss if 900 bags of grapes are sold?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of orange bags be x

Profit by selling orange =6x

Loss by selling grapes= 4×900=3600

So, profit should be equal to loss so that merchant have neither profit nor loss

So, 6x= 3600

X= 3600÷6=600

So, no of bags of orange to be sold is 600
