Question

4. A cement company earns a profit of 18 per bag of white cement sold and a loss of 75 per
bag of grey cement sold.

(b) If the company sells 3,600 grey bags, find the number of white cement bags it must sell
to make no profit no loss.

Please Solve it for me. ​

Answer 1

Total loss of company is 3600*75 equal to 270000

white bags company have to sell to make it no profit no loss is total loss ÷profit on per white bag

270000÷18

ans. 15000

Hence , company have to sell 15000 white bags to make it no profit no loss.

Answer 2

Answer:

(A) Solution 8:

(a)

Profit gained by 1 bag of white cement = Rs 8

Loss of 1 bag of grey cement = Rs 5

(i) Profit from selling 3000 white cement bags = Rs 3000\times8\ =\ 240003000×8 = 24000

(ii) Loss from selling 5000 grey cement bags = Rs 5000\times5=\ 250005000×5= 25000

since 24000<2500024000<25000

profit\ <\ loss\profit < loss

Therefore, his total loss on selling the grey cement bags = loss\ -\ profit\loss − profit

25000-24000\ =\ 100025000−24000 = 1000

Thus, company has lost of Rs 1000 on selling the grey cement bags.

(b)

Let the no. of white cement bags be 'x'

According to the question

Loss = Profit

Therefore, 5\times6400\ =\ x\ \times85×6400 = x ×8

\frac{5\times6400}{8}=\ x

8

5×6400

= x

x=\ 4000x= 4000
