Question

A)Loss is denoted by a negative integer and profit is denoted by a positive integer. A

cement company earns a profit of ₹ 10 per bag of white cement and a loss of ₹ 5 per
bag of grey cement. The company sells 325 bags of white cement and 500 bags of
grey cement. What is its profit or loss?

Answer 1

There was a profit of ₹750.

Explanation:

325 bags of white cement

Profit of 10 for each bag of white cement. So

`P = 325*10 = 3250`

500 bags of grey cement.

Loss of 5 for each bag of grey cement. So

`L = 5*500 = 2500`

What is its profit or loss?

3250 - 2500 = 750

Positive, so profit. There was a profit of ₹750.
