Question

Manoj buys 14kg of sweets for rupees 1750. Out of this, 4kg of sweets got spoilt and so Manoj sold the remaining sweets for rupees 150 per kg. What is his loss per cent or profit percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

c.p. of 14kg of sweets =1750

s.p. of 10 kg of sweets =150*10

                                      =1500

because,cp>sp

loss =cp-sp

      1750-1500

        250

loss percent =250/1750*100

                    =100/7 profit

                      =14 2/7

this is also given at the back of the text book
