Answers
Find the cost of the salt:
1 kg = Rs 13.50
10 kg = 13.50 x 10 = Rs 135
Find the number of packets packed:
Number of packets = 10 kg ÷ 500g
Number of packets = 10000g ÷ 500g
Number of packets = 20
Find the cost of packing:
1 pack = 25p
20 packs = 25 x 20 = 500p = Rs 5
Find the total cost:
Total cost = 135 + 5 = Rs 140
Find the profit:
Selling Price = Rs 155
Profit = 155 - 140 = Rs 15
Answer: The profit is Rs 15
Answer: Profit made Rs. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
CP Price of 1 kg of salt = Rs. 13.50
CP price of 10 kg salt = Rs.(13.50 x 10)
=Rs. 135
SP price of 10 kg salt =Rs. 155
Packing cost of 500g salt = 25 paisa
Packing cost of 10 kg salt = (25 x 20 ) paisa
=500p
= Rs. 5
Total cost Price of 10 kg salt
=> Rs.135 + Rs.5 =Rs.140
Profit= sell price - Total cost price
= Rs.155 - Rs.140
= Rs.15
