Q) Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material costs him Rs 50 per metre and trouser materia l costs him Rs 90 per meter. For every 2 meters of the trouser material he buys 3 meters of shirt material. He sells that material at12% and 10% profit respectively. His total sale is Rs36,660. How much trouser material did he buy?

profit on shirt material: 10% of 50 = 5.00/meter

profit on trouser: 12% of 90 = 10.8/meter

If he buys s meters of shirt, t meters of trouser, then

2s = 3t
1.10s + 1.12t = 36660

Hmmm. I expected to get integer values, but did not. Better check my math and the problem.

let the trouser material be 2x amd shirt material be 3x. per meter selling price of trouser =90 + 90*12/100 =100.8m per meter selling price of shirt = 50+50*10/100 = 55 according to question 100.8(2x)+55(3x)=36660 201.60x+165x=36660 366.60x = 36660 x =36660/366.60 x =100 trouser material = 2x =2 x 100 =200m

Thank you very much

hi in which standard r u , its just a simple sum , that means a very stupiod person is trying it out , but well i am the topper of the class i know this question well i am neha

hasan buys two kinds of cloth material for school uniforms,shirt material that cost him RS50 per meter and trouser material that costs him RS 90 per meter.for every 3 meters of shirt meateril he buys 2 meters of the trouser material.He sells the materials at 12% and 10% profit respectively .His total sale is RS 36,600. how mach trouser material did he bey?

Cost of 1m shirt material=Rs50

Cost of 1m trouser material=Rs90
Let Has an buys shirt material =3x
Hasan buys trouser material =2x
Cost of shirt material cloth=Rs50×3x=150x
Cost of trouser material cloth =Rs90 ×2x=150x
S.P. of shirt material =C.P.×(100+P%)÷100
=150x×(100+12%)÷100
=150x×112÷
=168x
S.P. of trouser material=C.P.×(100+P%)÷100
=180x×(100+10%)÷100
=180x×110÷100
=198x
Total Sale =36600
=168x +198x=36600
=366x=36600
=×=100
=Hasan buys trouser material =2x
=2×100
=200metre

Let measure of shirt material be 3x and measure of grouse be 2x.

Cost of 3xm shirt material= 3x×50=150x
Cost of 2xm grouse material= 2x×90=180×
Selling price of the shirt material=150x×112/100
Selling price of the trouser material=180x×110/100
Total selling price=150×112/100+180x×110/100=36600=366x=36600/360=100
Trouser material he buyed=2×100=200
