Question

A man first sold 2/3rd of his total quantity of rice and 100 kg. Again be sold 1/2 of the remaining quantity and 100 kg. If the total remaining quantity of the stock is 150 kg. Then, what was the original stock of rice?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2100Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total quantity of rice be X

quantity of rice sold is

$\frac{2x}{3} + 100 + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x}{3} + 100$

As per the given condition

$x - ( \frac{2x}{3} + 200 + \frac{x}{6} ) = 150$

$\frac{6x - 4x - x}{6} = 350$

$x = 350 \times 6 = 2100$

Answer 2

Answer:

1: A cloth merchant bought 35 shirts, each at a price of Rs 280. He sold each of them for Rs. 308. Find his percentage profit.

Sol: The profit percentage remains same for one unit as well for all the units. Thus the calculations should be done for one unit only.

CP = Rs. 280. SP = Rs. 308.

Profit = 308 – 280 = Rs. 28. Now you need to apply profit percentage formula for the same.

Profit percentage = 100 × 28/280 = 10%

Example 2: An article is sold for Rs 2400 at a profit of 25 %. What would have been the actual profit or loss if it had been sold at Rs 1800?
