Hey there!

Given-

The shopkeeper brought some wheat for 35000

Concept-

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Calculation-

→Price of good wheat = (6/7) x 35000 = 30000

→This good wheat sold at 10% profit = 30000 ×(11/10) = 33000

→Price of mouldy wheat = (1/7) × 35000 = 5000

→ This mouldy wheat sold at 25% loss = 5000 ×(75/100) = 3750

→Total selling price = 33000 + 3750 = 36750

→Profit % = (36750 - 35000)/(35000) x 100

=5%

Therefore, The required result will be 5%.

<h2>Question: </h2>

A shopkeeper bought wheat for rs.35000. Due to leakage in the godown 1/7 of the total wheat was spoiled. He sold the good wheat at a gain of 10% and the spoiled when at a loss of 25%. Find his total gain or loss per cent.

Answer:

<h2>5%</h2>

<h2>step by step answer:</h2>

In the question we are given a shopkeeper or bought wheat for Rs. 35000. Now, due to leakage 17 of the total wheat is spoiled. Now, he sold the good wheat at 10% gain and the bad wheat at 25% loss. We need to find the total gain/loss percent.

According to the problem, the total cost of wheat is Rs. 35000.

Now, let us find the cost price of the spoiled wheat.

So, the cost of spoiled wheat is 17×Rs35000 which is equal to Rs. 5000.

Hence, the cost price of spoiled wheat is Rs 5000.

As we know that the spoiled wheat was sold at 25% loss, so we can say that if the cost price is considered as 100% so the selling price is considered as (100−25)% or 75%.

So, we got the selling price of spoiled wheat is 75100×5000=Rs3750

So, the cost price of spoiled wheat is Rs.5000 and selling price of spoiled wheat is Rs.3750.

Now, let us find the cost price of the good wheat.

Now, we will consider the good quality of wheat whose cost price is Rs(35000−5000) which is Rs. 30000.

Hence, the cost price is Rs. 30000.

As we know good quality wheat was sold at 10% gain so we can say that, if the cost price is 100% then the selling price will be (100+10)% or 110% .

Hence, the selling price of good quality wheat is 110100×Rs30000 which is Rs. 33000.

So, the cost price of good quality wheat is Rs. 30000 and selling price is Rs. 33000.

Let us find the total selling price of the wheat that the shopkeeper bought.

Now the total selling price of the wheat is Rs.3750+Rs.30000=Rs.36750.

Hence Profit = Total selling price − Total cost price

profit =Rs.36750−Rs.35000

=Rs.1750

profit %

=profitcost price×100%.

=175035000×100%.

=5%.

<h2>So, total profit is 5%.</h2>

The sum of the two prime numbers between 110 and 130 is
Korvikt [17]

Prime numbers are those numbers which have only two factors, 1 and the number itself . For e.g. 3,5,7,11 etc are all prime numbers.

Between 110 and 130 we have a total of two prime numbers which are 113 and 127, since both have only two factors .

And sum of 113 and 127 is

113+127= 240

So the required answer is 240 .
