(2) Floramma has sold 10 kg prawns today. How much money did she get for that?

Sol. (2)  Price of 1 kg prawns = Rs. 150

[Half of Rs. 150 is Rs. 75]

sol 

Item	Price of each	No of items	cost
Borewell  for fresh  Water	Rs.3000	1	Rs. (3000 x 1) = Rs. 3000
Bamboo for fish Drying	Rs. 2000	20	Rs. (2000 x 20) =              Rs. 40000
Cement tank	Rs. 1000	4	Rs. (1000 x 4) = Rs. 4000
Tray and knife	Rs. 300	20	Rs.(300 x 20) = Rs. 6000
Bucket	Rs. 75	20	Rs.(75 x 20) = Rs. 1500

Total cost setup the factory = Rs. 54500
Quantity of dried fish obtained in one month = 1/3 of 6000 kg= (6000/3) kg= 2000 kg

Question

Let us first calculate for 6 kg of fresh fish.

we buy fresh fish for Rs. 15 per kg

we sell dried fish for Rs. 70 per kg

we dry 6 kg fresh fish to get ...............kg gried fish 

for 6 kg fresh fish we have to pay 6x ............= Rs. 90

so if we dry 6 kg fresh fish we will earn .....90 = Rs. .......

but it we dry 6000 kg we can earn Rs. ......... x 1000 in one month!

Sol.  we dry 6 kg fresh fish to get 2kg dried fish[6/3=2]

for 6 kg fresh fish we have to pay 6 x Rs. 15= Rs. 90

We will sell 2 kg dried fish and get 2 x Rs. 70 = Rs. 140

So if we dry 6 kg fresh fish we will earn Rs. 140 - Rs. 90 = Rs. 50

But if we dry 6000 kg we can earn Rs. 50 x 1000 - Rs. 50000 in one month!

 Question:- Jhansi -I found that for 6000 kg fish we would need 1500 kg salt every month! Its price is Rs. 2 per kg

Monthly costs:

(a) Salt 1500 x 2 = Rs. ........

(b) Packing and bus charges - Rs. 3000

so the total monthly cost of drying and selling the fish = Rs.  ..............

Fazila- That sounds very good! Our calculatons tell us that every month our Bank will earn Rs. 

44000!

1. check to see if you also get the same answer.

Sol.   Monthly costs-

(a)  Salt = 1500 x 2 = Rs. 30000

(b) Packing and bus charges = Rs. 3000

so, the total monthly cost of drying and selling the fish = Rs. 3000 + Rs. 3000 = Rs. 6000

They earn Rs. (50000-6000) = Rs. 44000 per month

Their answer is correct.
