Question

A cement company earns a profit of Rs. 8 per bag of

white cement sold and a loss of Rs. 5 per bag of grey cement

sold (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 6,400 bags​

Answer 1

Answer: 4000 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

let x bags are sold of white cement

profit earned will be 8x

let y bags are sold of grey cement

loss incurred will be 5y

if Y = 6400 (Given ) loss incurred will be 5 x 6400 = 32,000

so 32000 = 8x ( need to earn same amount as profit to achieve no profit no loss)

so x = 32,000/8 = 4,000 bags of white cement must sell ( answer)
