Profit on each basmati rice bag=10 rs
No.of basmati rice bags sold=3000 bags
Total profit on basmati rice=3000*10=30,000
Loss on each non basmati rice bags=5 rs
No.of non basmati rice bags sold=5000
Total loss on non basmati rice=5000*5=25,000
30,000>25,000=profit>loss
Therefore profit=30,000-25,000
=5,000
Ans =profit=5,000

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
profit of 10 per bag of basmati rice
loss of 5 per bag of non-basmati rice
1) 3,000 bags of basmati rice * 10 = 30,000 profit
5,000 bags of non-basmati rice * 5 = 25,000 loss
30,000 - 25,000 = 5,000 net profit
2) Let x be the number of bags of basmati rice
10x = 6,400*5
10x = 32,000
x = 32,000/10
x = 3,200 bags of basmati rice.
