a cement company games rupees 12 per bag of white cement sold and get a loss of rupees 8 per bag of Grey cement sold
Answers
Answer:
Profit for selling each white cement bag = Rs. 12
Loss for selling each grey cement bag = Rs. 8
Bags of white cement sold by the company = 3,500
Bags of grey cement sold by the company = 5,000
Hence profit earned by the company = 3,500 × 12 = Rs.42,000
Loss incurred by the company = 5,000 × 8 = Rs. 40,000
42,000 is greater than 40,000, Hence there is a profit of Rs. 20,000 for the company.
B) solution⬇️⬇️
Total grey cement bags = 6,000.
Now, the loss incurred by the company = 6,000 × 8 = 48,000
Hence, to make the amounts equal, the profit should also be the same.
Therefore, the profit is Rs. 48,000
No. of white cement bags = 48,000 ÷ 12
That is equal to 4,000
So, the required no. of white cement bags to equal the amount are 4,000.
Answer:
white cement per bag = 12 rupees
loss on grey cement= 8 rupees per bag
