Question

One seller buys sugar at Rs 25 per kg and sells it at Rs 35 per kg. If he uses 900 gms instead of 1 kg and 480 gms instead of 500 gms, how much profit will he get by selling 1.5 kg of sugar?​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that cost price of 1000 gm sugar is  ₹ 25

This is our C.P ( Cost Price )

Original                   = 1000 g + 500 g = 1500 g

What he/she gives = 900 g  + 480 g = 1380g

For 900 grams it is  ₹35

Then for 1000 g it will be ( 900 *  35 ) / 1000

=  ₹ 31.5

It is clear profit.

For how much he buys 1500 g = ( 1500 * 25 ) / 1000

=  37.5

If he sells  ₹ 31.5 per 1 kg ( as we got ) then for 1500 it will be

= ( 1500 * 31.5) / 1000

= 47.25

Profit = 47.25 - 37.5 = 9.75
