Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Amount of tea sold = 20 kg

◆ Explanation -

Let x be no of kg of tea sold.

Loss in selling tea is calculated by -

Loss = x × 40 × 10/100

80 = x × 400/100

x = 80 × 100/400

x = 80 / 4

x = 20 kg

Hence, the amount of tea sold is 20 kg.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
