Question 131

A green grocer had a profit of Rs. 47 on Monday, a loss of Rs. 12 on Tuesday and loss of Rs. 8 on Wednesday. Find his net profit or loss in 3 days.

Answer 1

Given,
Profit on Monday = Rs. 47 and loss on Tuesday = Rs. 12
and loss on Wednesday = Rs. 8
\(\therefore\) Net profit = Total profit - Total loss
Now, total profit = Rs. 47 and total loss = 12 + 8 = Rs. 20
\(\therefore\) Net profit = 47-20 = Rs. 27
