Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ng 1 bag of white cement = Rs.\ 8

Loss on 1 bag of grey cement = -Rs.\ 5

\therefore Loss on 6400 bags of grey cement = -Rs.\( 6400\times5) = -Rs.\ 32000

To be neither in profit nor loss, the profit from white cement must be Rs.\ 32000

\therefore Number of white cement bags to be sold = Rs.\ 32000\div Rs.\ 8

\\ = \frac{32000}{8} \\ = 4000

Therefore the company has to sell 4000 white cement bags.
