Question

An ice cream vendor bought $48$ orange-bars at $Rs.4$ each and $25$ vanilla cups at $Rs.9$ each. He spent $Rs.3$ on storage. If he sold all the orange-bars for $Rs.240$, all the vanilla cups for $Rs.200$, and the remaining ice for $Rs.1$, find his net loss or gain.

Answer 1

Cost of orange bars= $Rs.48\times 4=Rs.192$

Cost of vanilla cups= $Rs.25\times 9=Rs.225$

and $Rs.3$ is spent on storage

Therefore, total C.P= $Rs.(192+225+3)$

$=Rs.(195+225)$

$=Rs.420$

Selling price= $Rs.240+Rs.200+Rs.1=Rs.441$

$\therefore$ Net gain= $Rs.441-Rs.420=Rs.21$
