Answer:
2350
Step-by-step explanation:
goods of 350
loss of 2000
Answer:
Rs. 3650
Step-by-step explanation:
Currently shopkeeper has goods worth Rs. 350
Total loss right now = Rs. 0
Profit right now = Rs. 0
Shopkeeper gives grocery worth Rs. 350 and Rs. 1650 as change from the other shopkeeper which makes a total of Rs. 2000 loss from the lady.
Total loss right now = Rs. 2000
But as he gave away the change to the lady, he received Rs. 350 from the other shopkeeper
Total money he has right now = Rs. 350
Now, the other shopkeeper comes and takes his amount which Rs. 2000
Total money he takes = Rs. 1650 from the shopkeeper and Rs. 350 which he lent
Shopkeeper makes a total loss of Rs. 1650 to this shopkeeper which he paid from his pocket
Total loss right now = Rs. 2000 + Rs. 1650 = Rs. 3650
