Answers
Given :
A lady buys goods worth Rs. 350 from a shop.
She gave him 2000 Rs. duplicate note.
To Find :
shopkeeper's loss.
Explanation:
A lady buys goods worth Rs. 350, so 350 is a loss for the shopkeeper.
Cash given by lady is Rs 2000.
Therefore, Rs 2000 – Rs 350 = Rs 1650
The shopkeeper brings change and keeps 350 for himself and returns Rs. 1650 to the lady.
The shopkeeper who has given change, has no profit and no loss because he took back his 2000 Rs.
The shopkeeper makes loss worth Rs 1650 by giving the change against the cost of the goods that is ₹ 350 for the good's cost.
So the total loss for the shopkeeper is Rs 350 + Rs 1650 = Rs 2000
Total loss is 2000 Rs. for the shopkeeper.
Thus the total loss is 2000 Rs. for the shopkeeper.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that:
- Worth of goods = 350 Rs
- Cash given by lady = 2000 Rs
- 2000 Rs – 350 Rs = 1650 Rs
Solution:
The amount returned by shopkeeper to the lady = 1650 Rs
As the note was duplicate therefore the shopkeeper makes loss worth Rs 1650 by giving the change against the cost of the goods = 350 Rs
The total loss for the shopkeeper is Rs 350 + Rs 1650 = 2000 Rs
Thus the Total loss is 2000 Rs. for the shopkeeper.
