✬ CORRECT QUESTION ✬

➨A cement company earns a profit of RS.8 per bag of white cement sold and a loss if Rs.5per bag of grey cement sold.

a.) The company sells 3000 bags of white cement and 5000 bags of grey cement in a month. What is it's profit of loss ?

Given:

• Profit on each white cement bag is Rs 8.
• Loss on each grey cement bag is Rs 5.
• Company sold 3000 and 5000 bags of white and grey cement respectively.

To Find:

• What is the total profit or loss made by company?

Solution: We are given that a company earns :-

➫ Profit on white bag = Rs 8

➫ Loss on grey bag = Rs 5

A/q

• Profit on 1 bag of white cement = Rs 8

∴ Profit on 3000 bags of white cement

$\implies{\rm }$ 3000 $\times$ 8

$\implies{\rm }$ Rs 24000

• Loss on 1 bag of grey cement = Rs –5

∴ Loss on 5000 bags of grey cement

$\implies{\rm }$ 5000 $\times$ 5

$\implies{\rm }$ Rs 25000

Since Loss part is greater than Profit part therefore,

=> Total loss = Rs (25000 – 24000)

=> Total loss = Rs 1000

Hence, company made a loss of Rs 1000.
