Jhansi found that, to dry and salt 6000 kg fish we would need 1500 kg salt. Its price is ₹2 per kg. The packing and bus charges are ₹3000. What is the total cost spent for drying and selling 6000 kg fish?

Solution

Total weight of salt for 6000 kg fish = 1500 kg

Cost of salt per kg = ₹2
Total cost for salt = ₹2 × 1500 = ₹3000
Packing and bus charges = ₹3000

Total cost spent for drying and selling fish = ₹3000 + ₹3000
= ₹6000
