A shopkeeper had a loss on some days and a profit on others. Over 6 days the daily results (₹) were 4 losses of 75 each and 2 profits. If the net result for the week was a profit of ₹50, what was each (equal) daily profit?

Question

Accepted Answer

175. Losses: 4 × (-75) = -300. Net = +50, so profits total = 50 - (-300) = 350. Each of 2 = 350 ÷ 2 = 175.
