Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Bought n items of product A at 1/5 rs each
- bought n items of product B at 1/4 rs each
He mixed the two items and sold each at 2/9 rs each.
He lost 3 rs in the above batch of articles.
Solution:
revenue = 2n* (2/9) rs = 4n/9 rs
cost = n/5+n/4 rs = n(1/5+1/4)
Profit = revenue-cost = 4n/9-n(1/5+1/4) = -3 rs
Solve for n
4n/9-n(1/5+1/4) = -3
factor out n
n(4/9-1/5-1/4)=-3
n(80-36-45)/180=-3
-n/180=-3
n=3*180=540
Total number of products bought
= n+n = 540+540 = 1080
Step-by-step explanation:
-7(y-1)= 21
-7y+7=21
-7y=21-7
-7y=14
divide by-7
y=-2
