Mahesh bought 100 kg of rice for Rs. 1040 and sold it at a loss of as much money as he received for 30 kg rice. At what price did he sell the rice?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let the selling price of the rice = Rs.P/kg

Now, according to the question,

1040 - 100p = 30p

=> p = 8/kg

Hence, the selling price of the rice = Rs. 8/kg
