A farmer sold 35 bags of rice at 25 % profit. If he sold each bag for ?7500:00. How much was his profit on 25 of the lot.

Respuesta :

Suppose that the farmer had bought the rice at x dollars per bag and had sold them at a 25% markup.  How much did the bags cost him before he added the markup?  1.25x =$75 results in $75/1.25, or $60 per bag.

If he sold 25 bags, his profit would be 1.25($60/bag)(25 bags) = $1875.

I very seriously doubt that the rice was $7500 per bag.  Perhaps you meant $75/bag...?


that’s the correct answer
