Answer 1

Given:-

Pramod bought 100 bunches of methi greens = Rs 400

downpour 30 of the bunches on his handcart got spoilt he sold the rest at the rate of rs 5 each.

To Find:-

He make a profit or a loss.and how much.

Solution:-

$\sf \: CP \: of \: 100 \: bunches \: of \: methi \: greens = \: Rs \: 400$

$\sf \: Number \: of \: bunches \: get \: spoiled \: = \: 30$

$\sf \: Number \: of \: bunches\: left \: = \: 100 \: − \: 30 = 70$

SP of 1 bunch of methi greens = Rs 5

$\sf \: Thus, \: selling \: price \: of \: 70 \: bunches \: of \: methi \: greens$

$\sf\implies \: \: 5 × 70 = Rs \: 350$

$\sf Sp>Cp$

$\sf So,there\:is\:a\:loss$

$\sf\implies \: Loss = CP − SP$

$\sf\implies \: 400 − \: 350$

$\sf\implies{\boxed{\underline{\purple{ \: Rs \: 50}}}}$

Hence, Pramod had a loss of Rs 50 in the deal.
