Answer 1

Answer:

The total loss experienced by Pak kamil is RM74

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 10 kg and  6 kg of vegetables = RM 136

The cost of 4 kg fish and 2 kg of vegetables = RM 54

Amount for which the fish was sold = RM8 per kilogram

Amount for which the vegetables was sold = RM0.50 per kilogram

The total mass of the fish = 10 kg + 4 kg = 14 kg

The total mass of the vegetables = 6 kg + 2 kg = 8 kg

The amount for which the meat was sold = 14 kg × RM8/kg = RM112

The amount for which the fish was sold = 8 kg × RM0.50/kg = RM4

RM112 + RM4 = RM116

The total amount for which the fish and vegetable was sold = RM136 + RM54 = RM190

Therefore, the total loss experienced by Pak kamil = RM190 - RM116 = RM74.
