Question 81

Yash sells vegetables at 40 per kg and incurs a loss of 10%. If the total loss incurred is 144, what is the weight of vegetables sold? (Rounded off)

Solution

Let yash sold x kg vegetables.

Loss incurred = 10%

Total loss incurred = Rs. 144

Total loss = 10% = 144

Total cost price = 100% = 1440

Selling price of vegetables per kg = Rs.40

0.9 × cost price = 40

costprice=40×(10/9)=400/9.

x = 1440 ÷ (400 / 9)

x = 32.40 kg

B is correct choice.
