Question

Salt costs $13.50 a kilogram. 10 kg of salt is made
into packs of 500 g and sold for 155. Find the
profit made if the cost of packing is 25 paise a pack?​

Answer 1

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
