SOLVE IT..

Answer 1

number of jeans made =30000
number of defective jeans =400
number of profitable jeans=30000-400=29600
profit on 1 jean =rupees 50
profit on 29600 jeans =50×29600=1480000
loss on 1 defective jeans =200
loss on 400 defective jeans =200×400=80000
total profit = profit on jeans - loss on defective jeans = 1480000-80000=1400000
therefore, total profit = rupees 1400000

Answer 2

29600×50=1480000
400×200=80000
1480000-80000=1400000
your answer is rupees 1400000
