Question

Salt costs rs 13. 50 a kilogram. 10kg of salt is made into packs of 500g and sold for rs155. What is the profit made if the cost of packing is 25p per pack

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Thanks!!
