Answer:
Salt costs =13.5 per kg
Given 10 kg of salt made into 500 g salt packets
For 1 kg salt(including packing)=13.5+2(0.25)
Because for 500g packing it cost =0.25 pair.
∴ For 1 kg it costs =13.5+2(0.25)
(with packing) =13.5+0.5
=14 Rs.
Now for 10 kg C.P =10×14
=140 Rs.
S.P=155 Rs.
Profit ⇒ S.P − C.P =155−140
=15 Rs
