Step-by-step explanation:
Profit on selling 1 cotton saree = + Rs 100
Loss on selling 1 synthetic saree = - Rs 40
(a).
loss on selling 80 synthetic sarees = - Rs 3200
Let the no. of cotton sarees sold = x
profit on selling x cotton sarees = Rs 100 x
so,
-3200 + 100x = -1000
100x = 2200
x = 22
so, no. of cotton sarees sold = 22
(b).
profit on selling 50 cotton sarees = + Rs 5000
Let the no. of synthetic sarees sold = y
loss on selling y synthetic sarees = - Rs 40y
now,
5000 - 40y =0
40y = 5000
y = 125
So, no. of synthetic sarees sold = 125
