2.if the company sells 3600 grey bags find number of white cement bags it must sell to make no profit no loss ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.profit of Rs. 21000

2.1000 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Profit for selling each white cement bag = Rs. 18

Bags of white cement sold by the company = 2,000

profit earned by the company = 2,000 × 18 = Rs.36,000

Loss on selling each grey cement bag = Rs. 5

Bags of grey cement sold by the company = 3,000

Loss incurred by the company = 3,000 × 5 = Rs. 15,000

Here Profit is greater than loss

36000-15000 = 21000

Hence there is a profit of Rs. 21000

2. 1 bag of Grey Cement = a loss of Rs.5,  

Hence 3600 bags = 5 x 3600 =  18000 loss.    

1 bag of White Cement =a profit of Rs. 18    

Therefore to get  a profit of 18000

18000/8 = 1000 bags
