Question: A dealer purchased 250 bulbs for rupee 10 each. However 12 bulbs got fused which she handed to throw away. She sold the remaining bulbs at rupee 12 each. Find her gain or loss
Answer: 356 Rupees
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount spent for 250 bulbs:
= 10 rupees per/ bulb
= 10 x 250
= 2500
She spent 2500 Rupees on the bulbs
Since, 12 bulbs got fused and thrown away, She now has (250 - 12 =) 238 bulbs.
She sold 238 bulbs at 12 rupees / per bulb
Calculation:
= 238 x 12
= 2856
She sold 238 bulbs for 2856 rupees
Her Gain: 2856 - 2500 = 356 Rupees

Answer:
In the question it is given that a dealer purchased 250 bulbs for ₹10 each. So,first we find the cost price (C.P) of 250 bulbs, Cost of 250 bulbs = 250×10 = ₹2500. It is also given in question that 12 bulbs got fused, so dealer throw that fused bulbs. Remaining bulbs = 250 — 12 = 238 bulbs. And the dealer sold that remaining bulbs at ₹12 each. So, Selling price (S.P) = 238×12 = ₹2856. We have asked in question that dealer have gain (profit) or loss.
