Answer :

Answer:

To calculate the answers to the questions:

(a) For 5 kg of rice:

Price per kg of rice = ₹52

Discount on rice = 5%

Price after discount = ₹52 - (5% of ₹52)

Price after discount = ₹52 - (0.05 * ₹52)

Price after discount = ₹52 - ₹2.60

Price after discount = ₹49.40 per kg

Total price for 5 kg of rice = ₹49.40 * 5

(b) To find the cost price of cooking oil with a 10% profit:

Let the cost price of cooking oil be ₹x.

Selling price of cooking oil = Cost price + 10% of cost price

Selling price of cooking oil = ₹x + 0.10x

Selling price of cooking oil = 1.10x

Given that the selling price of cooking oil is ₹112 per liter.

1.10x = ₹112

x = ₹112 / 1.10

(c) To calculate the discount on dal:

Price per kg of dal = ₹95

Discount on dal = 3%

Discount amount = 3% of ₹95

Calculate the discount amount on dal.
