Subalbabu of Antpur, by producing rice sells it to a wholesaler Sahanabibi at 20% profit. Sahanabibi sells that rice to the shopkeeper Utpalbabu at 10% profit. But if Utpalbabu sells this rice at 12% profit, then let us find out the answers of the following questions by drawing picture on a straight line:

(i) Subalbabu has spent Rs. 7500 to produce some amount of rice. Let us calculate and write it with how much money Sahanabibi has bought that amount of rice.


(ii) To produce the some amount of rice Subalbabu has spent Rs. 2500, with how much money Utpalbabu will sell that amount of rice —let us calculate and write it.


(iii) The price at which Utpalbabu sells rice to us, if Subalbabu sells directly at that price then what will be the profit percentage of Subalbabu —let us calculate and write it.

As Subalbabu takes profit of 20% on his sale when he sells it to wholesaler Sahanabibi


If cost of production is 100 then the selling price will be (100 + 20) = 120.


If cost of production is ₹1 then the selling price


If cost of production is ₹ ‘x’ then the selling price


We will plot the graph between Cost price(x-axis) and Selling Price(y-axis) for Subalbabu.




(i) Given cost of production = 7500


Profit for Subalbabu = 20%


Selling price for Subalbabu =


= 9000


Cost price for Sahanabibi = Selling price for Subalbabu = 9000.


(ii) Cost price of production = 2500


Profit for Subalbabu = 20%


Selling price for Subalbabu =



Cost price for Sahanabibi = Selling price for Subalbabu = ₹ 3000


Profit for Sahanabibi = 10%


Selling price for Sahanabibi =



Cost price for Utpalbabu = Selling price for Sahanabibi = ₹ 3300


Profit for Utpalbabu = 12%


Selling price for Subalbabu =



Final price for the buyer = 3696


So, Utpalbabu sells the rice for 3696.


(iii) As calculated in (ii), for the production price of 2500, the final selling price to us is 3696.


Profit for Subalbabu if he sells directly at this price = × 100


Profit for Subalbabu if he sells directly at this price = × 100 = 47.84%
