PLEASE GIVE ME ANSWER​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) negative 1,41,000

(i) 6,153.84

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Let the selling price be x

The profit of white cement bag = 78

The loss of gray cement bag = 75

The profit of 3000 white cement bag = 78 × 3000 = 2,34,000

The loss of 5000 gray cement bag = 75 × 5000 = 3,75,000

formula for profit or loss

profit - loss

no in negative means loss

no in positive mens profit

positive 2,34,000 - positive 3,75,000 = negative 1,41,000

(i)

loss of 1 gray bag = 75

loss of 6400 gray bags = 75 × 6400 = 4,80,000

profit on x bags of white cement = 78x

78x = 4,80,000

x = $\frac{4,80,000}{78}$

x = 6,153.84
