| Answer» SALT costs =13.5 per kgGiven 10 kg of salt made into 500 g salt packetsFor 1 kg salt(including packing)=13.5+2(0.25)Because for 500G packing it COST =0.25 pair.∴ For 1 kg it costs =13.5+2(0.25)(with packing) =13.5+0.5=14 Rs.Now for 10 kg C.P =10×14=140 Rs.S.P=155 Rs.Profit ⇒ S.P − C.P =155−140=15 Rs | |
