Question 26
A cement company earns a profit of ₹ 8 per bag of white cement sold and a loss of ₹ 5 per bag of grey cement sold. The company sells 3,000 bags of white cement and 5,000 bags of grey cement in a month. What is its profit or loss?
We denote profit in positive integer and loss in negative integer,
From the question,
Cement company earns a profit on selling 1 bag of white cement = ₹ 8 per bag
Then,
Cement company earns a profit on selling 3000 bags of white cement = 3000 × ₹ 8
= ₹ 24000
Loss on selling 1 bag of grey cement = – ₹ 5 per bag
Then,
Loss on selling 5000 bags of grey cement = 5000 × – ₹ 5
= – ₹ 25000
Total loss or profit earned by the cement company = profit + loss
= 24000 + (-25000)
= – ₹1000
Thus, a loss of ₹ 1000 will be incurred by the company.
