Question

a man bought 100kg of rice for rs1100 and sold it to at loss as much money as he recieved for 20kg rice.at what price did he sell the rice??

Answer 1

C.P. of 100 kg rice = Rs.1100
(he sold at loss of cost of 20 kg rice)
so, cost of 20kg rice= $\frac{Rs. 1100}{100} * 20$= Rs.220
therefore, according to question cost of 20 kg rice is the loss which is Rs. 220
so, C.P. - Loss = S.P.
Rs. 1100 - Rs. 220 = S.P.
Rs. 880= s.p.
