Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

total sugar Himanshu has =120

it cost 22 per kg so 120 kh cost₹2640

he sold 30% of the sugar that is 30% of 120 for 13 rupees

30%of 120= 120*30/100=36

he sold 36 kg for 13 rupees that is ₹468------(1)

now remaining sugar is 120-36=84 kg

from question he sold the remaining sugar for ₹25 per kg

that is 25*84=2100----(2)

when we add (1) and (2) we get 468+2100=2568

but he bought the total sugar for 2640

there for he lost rupees 2640-2568=72

he lost ₹72

loss percentage=100*loss/actual cost

=100*72/2640

=2.7%
