Question

3. What is the cost of a bag of rice containing 50 kg, if by selling it at 35.40 a kg, there is a
loss of 10%?
​

Answer 1

LET,

CP=x

and,

given,

sp of a kg =35.40

then,

sp of 50 kg = (35.40*50)

= 1770.00

= 1770

now,

Loss = sp* loss%

=1770*10/100

= 177

hence,

CP= sp+loss

= 1770+177

= 1947
