Question

A trader earns a profit of rs 5 by selling an electronic toy but incurs a loss of rs 2 by selling a soft toy from old stock

(B) how many soft toys the trader should have sold on that day to have no profit or loss

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit earned by selling electronic toy = Rs 5

Let say he sells x electronics toys then

profit = Rs 5x

Loss incurred by selling old stock soft toy = Rs 2

Let say he sells y old stock soft toy then

Loss = Rs 2y

to have no profit no loss

Profit = loss

=> 5x = 2y

=> y = 2.5x

Trader has to sell soft toys 2.5 times the electronics toy
