1.the company sells 7000 bags of grey cement in a month. What is its profit or loss?
2.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

1
total grey bag sold =7000
loss on one grey bag =5
total loss =7000×5=35000
2.
total grey bag sold =5400
so total loss =5400×5=27000
to equalise the loss and profit we have to earn a total profit of 27000 hense profit on 1 white bag is 9 rs then to have 27000 we need to sell 27000÷9=3000 so 3000 white bag is ur ans
