Q) Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material costs him Rs 50 per metre and trouser materia l costs him Rs 90 per meter. For every 2 meters of the trouser material he buys 3 meters of shirt material. He sells that material at12% and 10% profit respectively. His total sale is Rs36,660. How much trouser material did he buy?

7 answers

profit on shirt material: 10% of 50 = 5.00/meter
profit on trouser: 12% of 90 = 10.8/meter

If he buys s meters of shirt, t meters of trouser, then

2s = 3t
1.10s + 1.12t = 36660

Hmmm. I expected to get integer values, but did not. Better check my math and the problem.

Cost of 1m shirt material=Rs50
Cost of 1m trouser material=Rs90
Let Has an buys shirt material =3x
Hasan buys trouser material =2x
Cost of shirt material cloth=Rs50×3x=150x
Cost of trouser material cloth =Rs90 ×2x=150x
S.P. of shirt material =C.P.×(100+P%)÷100
=150x×(100+12%)÷100
=150x×112÷
=168x
S.P. of trouser material=C.P.×(100+P%)÷100
=180x×(100+10%)÷100
=180x×110÷100
=198x
Total Sale =36600
=168x +198x=36600
=366x=36600
=×=100
=Hasan buys trouser material =2x
=2×100
=200metre
Let measure of shirt material be 3x and measure of grouse be 2x.
Cost of 3xm shirt material= 3x×50=150x
Cost of 2xm grouse material= 2x×90=180×
Selling price of the shirt material=150x×112/100
Selling price of the trouser material=180x×110/100
Total selling price=150×112/100+180x×110/100=36600=366x=36600/360=100
Trouser material he buyed=2×100=200
let the trouser material be 2x amd shirt material be 3x. per meter selling price of trouser =90 + 90*12/100 =100.8m per meter selling price of shirt = 50+50*10/100 = 55 according to question 100.8(2x)+55(3x)=36660 201.60x+165x=36660 366.60x = 36660 x =36660/366.60 x =100 trouser material = 2x =2 x 100 =200m
Thank you very much
