` 5 per bag of grey cement sold.The company sells 7000 bags of white cement and 6000 bags of grey cement in a

month. What is its profit or loss?

(ii) What is the number of white cement bags it must sell to have neither profit nor

loss, if the number of grey bags sold is 5400.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Total Profit = Rs 33,000

2) No of white cement bags it must sell to have neither profit nor loss = 3000 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Total profit earn on sale of 7000 bags of white cement = Rs 63000 (7000×9)

Total Loss earn on sale of 6000 bags of grey cement = Rs 30000 (6000x5)

Therefore Rs 63000-Rs 30000=Rs 33000

B) Loss on sale of grey bags = 5400×5 =Rs 27000

To find bags to sell of white cement in order to earn neither loss nor profit:

Rs 27000/Rs 9 = 3000 bags of white cement
