Question

A shopkeeper bought 80 kg rice for 384 and
was obliged to sell it at a loss of as much
money as he received for 16 kg. Find selling
price (per kg) of rice.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.84

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 1kg rice = 384÷80 = 4.8

so loss = cost of 16 kg rice= 4.8 × 16= 76.8

Selling price of 80kg rice= 384-76.8= 307.2

hence selling price of 1kg rice= 307.2÷80= 3.84
