He sells the material at 12% and 10% profit respectively. His totla sale was 36,600. How much trouser material did he buy

Answer 1

Answer:

200m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let material bought for trousers and shirts be 2x meters and 3x meters respectively.

Cost price of 2x metres of trouser material at Rs. 90 per metre = Rs(90×2x) = Rs180x and

Cost price of 3x metres of shirt material at Rs. 50 per metre = Rs(50×3x) = Rs150x

Given, profit in case of shirt material = 12%

∴ Its S.P. =Rs(150× 112/100) = Rs168x

Also, profit in case of trouser material = 10%

∴ Its S.P. =Rs(180× 110 /100) = 198x

∴ Total selling price = Rs.(168x+198x)

= Rs.366x

But the total selling price is given as Rs. 36600.

∴366x=36600⇒x= 36660 / 366 = 100

Thus, the trouser material purchased

=2×100m

=200m
