(1) C.P. of rice.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

s.p =924

profit %= 12%

c.p = s.p×100÷100+12

924×100÷112= 825Ans

(b) c.p = 924×100÷100-12

1050Ans

(C) total s.p 924+ 924 =1848

total c.p 825+1050=1875

here s.p <c.p

loss =c.p-s.p

1875-1848 =27

loss percent = 27÷1875×100

1.44%Ans

Answer 2

Answer:

825,1050,1.44%

a=924*100\100-112=825,b=924*100\88=1050

c=27\1875*100=1.44
