a man earns a profit of Rs.5 per unit by selling fruit juice but loses Rs3 per unit by selling an ice cream. What is the number of fruit juiceshe must sell to have neither profit nor loss , if the number of ice creams sold is 45.
CHECK ITS RIGHT OR NOT????
Answer) no of ice creams sold=45
which means 45 X 3= 135 loss,
to have no profit no loss situation,
no of juices to be sold is,135/5=27
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
Otherwise, I agree.
To verify if the given answer is correct, let's calculate the net profit/loss when selling 27 fruit juices and 45 ice creams.
Profit from selling 1 fruit juice = Rs.5
Profit from selling 1 ice cream = -Rs.3 (loss)
Number of ice creams sold = 45
Total loss from selling ice creams = 45 x -Rs.3 = -Rs.135
To have no profit or loss, the profit from selling fruit juices should cover the loss from selling ice creams. So, the total profit from selling fruit juices should be Rs.135.
Profit from selling 1 fruit juice = Rs.5
Number of fruit juices to be sold = Total profit / Profit per fruit juice = Rs.135 / Rs.5 = 27
The answer given, which is 27 fruit juices sold, is indeed correct to have neither profit nor loss, considering that 45 ice creams are sold.
