Question

A cement company earns a profit of Rs 6 per bag of white cement sold and a loss of Rs 4 per bag of grey cement sold.
(a) The company sells 2,000 bags of white cement and 1,500 bags of grey cement in a month. What is its profit or loss?
(b) 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 3,000 bags.

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

white cement bags sold - 2000

profit per bag - rs6

total profit - 6*2000

12000

total lose calculated the same way is 6000

profit -loss

6000

hence the company made a profite of 6000

b)

the loss made by grey cement bags in this case is 12000

hence the company needs to sell 2000 bags of white cement to neither suffer a loss nor enjoy a profit
