Question

Parveen bought 80 kg of rice for Rs. 760 and sold it at a loss of as much money as he received for 15 kg rice. At which price did he sell the rice?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hiiiii

your answer is here !

Step-by-step explanation:

=> Let the SP per kg be Rs. x.

=> Total sales = Rs 80x

and

=> total loss will be 15x

(i.e. the selling price of 15 kg.).

=> Total Cost Price = Rs. 760.

=> Now SP + Loss = Cost Price

⇒ 80x + 15x = 760

⇒ 95x = 760

⇒ x = 760/95

=> x= 8

=> Rs 8.

Answer 2

Answer: S.P of 80 kg of rice = Rs. 617.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quantity of rice = 80 kg

             C.P of 80 kg of rice = Rs. 760

             Loss = C.P of 15 kg of rice

To find : S.P of rice

Solution :

C.P of 1 kg of rice = 760/80 = Rs. 9.5

C.P of 15 kg rice = 15 * 9.5 = Rs. 142.5

Loss = Rs. 142.5

∴ Selling price of 80 kg of rice = Rs. (760 - 142.5) = Rs. 617.5
