Question

A merchant on selling rice earns a profit of rupees 10 per bag of basmati rice sold and a loss of rupees 5 per bag of non-basmati rice

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)

Ans:if he sells 3000 bags of basmati rice, he will earn=3000×10=30000

if he sells 5,000 bags of non basmati rice cost=5000×5=25000

profit or loss=30000-25000=5000

profit=5000

ii) give the number of bags of non basmati rice old is 6400

find the number of basmati rice bags he must sell to have neither profit or loss=?

6400×5=10×number of basmati rice(x)

x=6400×5/10x=3200

the number of basmati rice bags he must sell to have neither profit or loss is 3200 bags
