Answer 1

Answer:

Find amount remaining after leakage:

leakage = 1/7 x 35000 = 5000

Remaining = 35000 - 5000 = 30000

Amount earned from the good wheat:

10% Gain = 10% x 30000 = 0.1 x 30000 = 3000

Total gain = 30000 + 3000 = 33 000

Amount gain from the spoilt wheat:

25% loss = 25% x 5000 = 0.25 x 5000 = 1250

Total wheat sold = 5000 - 1240 = 3750

Find total amount :

Total amount = 33 000 + 3750 = 36750

Find gain percentage:

Gain = 36750 - 35000 = 1750

Gain percentage = 1750/35000 x 100 = 5%

Answer: The gain was 5%
