Question

A shopkeeper bought wheat of ₹ 35000 due to leakage in the godown from one upon seven on the floor tile Beatbox world big shoulder would be at a gain of 10% and the whole wheat at a loss of 25% and his total gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Hi there!

Wheat bought = - $\dfrac {1}{7}$

Loss of Rs. = $\dfrac {35,000}{7}$ = Rs. 5000

Uneffected wheat's cost is 35000 - 5000 = Rs. 30000

10% of 30000 = Rs 3000

So the uneffected wheat was sold at 30,000 + 3000 = 33,000

So, the price of spoiled wheat = Rs. 5000

25% of 5000 = Rs. 1250

Therefore, the spoiled wheat was sold at  5000 - 1250 = Rs 3750

Hence, Total loss $\boxed {rs. 3750}$

Hope it helps!
