When a fresh fish is dried it becomes 1/3 of its weight. Sunita buys 1500 kg fresh fish for Rs. 25 per kg and sell them, when dried, for Rs. 80 per kg. How much does she earn? Correct Answer Rs. 2,500
Given:
Quantity of fresh fish = 1500 kg
Price of fresh fish = Rs. 25 per kg
Price of dried fish = Rs. 80 per kg
Formula Used:
Earning (Profit) = Selling Price – Cost Price
Calculation:
Total cost of fresh fish = 1500 × 25 = Rs. 37,500
Weight of dried fish = 1500/3 = 500 kg
Total cost of dried fish = 500 × 80 = Rs. 40,000
∴ Earning = 40000 – 37500 = Rs. 2,500
