Pramod bought 100 bunches of methi greens for Rs 400. In a sudden downpour, 30 of 
the bunches on his handcart got spoilt. He sold the rest at the rate of Rs 5 each. Did he 
make a profit or a loss? How much? 
 
SOLUTION

Sharad bought one quintal of onions for Rs 2000. Later he sold them all at the rate of 
Rs 18 per kg. Did he make a profit or incurs a loss? How much was it?  
 
SOLUTION 
Cost price of 1 quintal of onions = Rs 2000 
We know that, 1 quintal = 100 kg. 
Selling price of 1 kg of onions = Rs 18 
? Selling price of 100 kg (or 1 quintal) of onions = 18 × 100 = Rs 1800 
Since selling price is less than cost price, so there is a loss. 
Loss = Cost price - Selling price 
= 2000 - 1800 
= Rs 200 
Hence, Sharad incurred a loss of Rs 200 in this transaction.

? Selling price of 25 saris = 25 × 460 = Rs 11500 
Since selling price is more than cost price, so there is a profit. 
Profit = Selling price - Cost price 
= 11500 - 10000 
= Rs 1500 
Hence, Kantabai made a profit of Rs 1500 in this transaction.

FAQs on Textbook Solutions: Profit & Loss - Mathematics Class 6 (Maharashtra Board)

1. What is the basic concept of profit and loss?

Profit is the amount earned when the selling price of an item is greater than its cost price, while loss occurs when the selling price is less than the cost price.
2. How do you calculate profit and loss?
Ans. To calculate profit, subtract the cost price from the selling price: Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price. For loss, the calculation is similar: Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price. This helps in determining how much money was gained or lost in a transaction.
3. What are some examples of profit and loss in real life?
Ans. Real-life examples of profit and loss include a shopkeeper selling a product for more than its purchase price (profit) or a farmer selling crops for less than the cost of seeds and maintenance (loss). These scenarios illustrate how businesses manage their finances based on profit and loss calculations.
4. Why is understanding profit and loss important for businesses?
Ans. Understanding profit and loss is crucial for businesses as it helps in making informed decisions regarding pricing, budgeting, and financial planning. It allows business owners to evaluate their performance, adjust strategies, and ensure long-term sustainability.
5. Can profit and loss concepts be applied to personal finance?
Ans. Yes, the concepts of profit and loss can be applied to personal finance. Individuals can use these principles to manage their income and expenses, evaluate investments, and make informed financial decisions to maximize savings and minimize losses.
