Yash sells vegetables at 40 per kg and incurs a loss of 10%. If the total loss incurred is 144, what is the weight of vegetables sold? (Rounded off)

36 kg

32.40 kg

35 kg

39.2 kg

C.P per kg =40*100/90=400/9

Loss per kg =400/9 –40

=40/9

For loss of Rs.40/9 , quantity sold = 1 kg

∴ for loss of Rs. 144, quantity sold =9/40x144=32.4kg
