Question

Q 3 Aruna buys 12000 kg of fresh fish at Rs 40 a kg. She dries it. The dried fish one third of the fresh fish. She sells the dried fish at Rs 200 and pays Rs 890 for transportation. How much does she earn in this whole transaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of 1 kg fish is 40 rs

so cost for 12000 kg fish = 12000 × 40

= 480000 rs

now after drying 1/3 rd of total fish remains

i.e. 1/3 × 12000

= 4000 kg of fish remains

selling price of fish is 200 rs per kg

so total selling price is = 200 × 4000

= 800000

so profit = 800000 - 480000

= 320000 rs

also she gives 890 rs for transportation

so actual profit is

320000 - 890

= 319110 rs
