46 pounds of potatoes would cost 414 dollars:)

216 dollars divided by 24 pounds is 9 dollars per 1 pound of potatoes. 9 dollars per pound times 46 pounds is 414 dollars. In proportion form, it would be 24/216=46/x and can be solved by cross multiplying:)

Solution:

20 % profit on $ 1.20

Similarly, 20 % loss on $ 1.20 

= $ 20/100 × 1.20

= $ 0.20 × 1.20

= $ 0.24

Therefore, in one pipe his profit is $ 0.24 and in the other pipe his loss is $ 0.24.

Since both profit and loss amount is same so, it’s broke even.
