1)He sells 3000 bags of basmathi rice and 5000 bags of non-basmathi rice in a month. What is his profit or loss in a month?
2)What is the number of basmathi rice bags he must sell to have neither profit nor loss,if the number of non-basmathirice sold is 6400?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

profit of Rs.10 per bag of basmati rice

loss of Rs.5 per bag of non-basmati rice

i) 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

ii) Let x be the number of bags of basmati rice

10x=6,400×5

10x=32,000

x=  

10

32000

​  

 

x=3,200 bags of basmati rice.
