Question

Q47. Ajit bought 150 kg sugar at Rs 50/-per kg. He sold 70% of sugar at Rs.70

per kg and balance at Rs. 40/-per kg. Find overall profit / loss on the whole

Answer 1

total cp =50×150=7500


70%of 150= 105kg
sp of 105 kg= 70*105= 7350

remaining sugar = 150-105=45kg
sp of 45kg = 45×40=1800
so total sp=1800+7350=9150
sp is more than cp
hence profit
profit=9150-7500=1650
profit%=(1650/7500×100)
profit%=22%

Answer 2

CP=150*50= RS 7500
70%sugar=150*70/100=105
Sp=105*70=7350
remaining sugar=150kg-105kg=45kg7
sp=45*40=1800
total sp= 7350+1800=9150
profit=9150-7500=1650
