50kg of sugar bought for=1750 Rs

1kg of sugar sold for=32 Rs

therefore,

loss=32*50=1600 Rs

      =1750 Rs-1600 Rs

      =150 Rs//

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.150 less than he had spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :A shopkeeper bought a sack of 50 kg of sugar for 1750 rupees. . as the price of sugar fell, he had to sell it at the rate of 32 rupees per kilo.

To Find :  How much less money than he had spent

Solution:

Cost price of 50 kg sugar = Rs.1750

SP of 1 kg sugar = Rs.32

SP of 50 kg sugar = $32 \times 50$

                               = $1600$

Difference in SP and CP = 1750-1600 =150

So, Rs.150 less than he had spent.
