Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price (CP) = rs(210*17.5)
= rs 3675
Total selling price = rs{(100*17.20)+(110*17.40)}
=rs{1720+1914}
= rs 3694
SP>CP
therefore, profit occurs
profit= rs(3694-3675)
= rs 19
Answer:
He gained 19 rs of profit
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the seller bought 210 kg tomatoes at rs 17.50 per kg
total cost of tomatoes = 210 × 17.50 = 3,675 rs
he sold 100 kg of tomatoes at 17.80 per kg
the selling price of 100 kg of tomatoes = 100 ×17.80 = 1780 rs
and remaining tomatoes are sold at 17.40 per kg
after selling 100 kg remaining tomatoes are 110 kg
110 kg tomatoes are sold at 17.40 per kg
the selling price of 110 kg tomatoes = 110 ×17.40 = 1914 rs
total selling price of tomatoes
= 100 kg tomatoes selling price + 110 kg tomatoes selling price
= 1780+ 1914 = 3,694 rs
selling price is greater than cost price
profit = cost price - selling price
= 3694 -3675= 19 rs
