Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
Total no of grey bags sold,G = 6400
Loss on one grey = 5 Rupees.
So total loss on 6400 grey bags = 5×6400 = 32000 Rupees.
It means that company must earn profit of Rupees 32000 on white bags so that there is no profit and no loss.
Profit on 1 white bag = 8 Rupees.
Suppose W number of white bags are sold so that there is a profit of 32000 Rupees.
=> W×8 = 32000
=> W = 32000/8
=> W = 4000
●So if 4000 white bags are sold with 6400 grey bags,a company will have neither profit nor loss.
