Solution -
1. Answer: 2. 90%
Explanation :
Aakash’s profit = 6x+y = 6*2500+7500 = 22500
Billu’s profit = 12x-5000 = 12*2500-5000 = 25000
Required percentage = 22500/25000 =( 9/10)*100 = 90%
2. Answer: 4. 45:50:75:82
Explanation:
Aakash’s profit = 6x+y = 6*2500+7500 = 22500
Billu’s profit = 12x-5000 = 12*2500-5000 = 25000
Chandan’s profit = 15x = 37500
Deepak’s profit = 18x-8000+z = 18*2500-8000+4000 = 41000
Ratio of profits = 225:250:375:410 = 45:50:75:82
