The women of Meenkar Bank also want to start a factory to dry fish. The Panchayat has given them some land for that. Over the years they have saved Rs 74,000. They find out how much they will need for the factory. Fazila writes the things they need to buy to begin. See the table for the cost of each item and the number of items they want to buy. Find the total cost.
Item | Price of each | No. of items | Cost |
Borewell for fresh water | Rs. 3000 | 1 | |
Bamboo for fish drying | Rs. 2000 | 20 | |
Cement tank | Rs. 1000 | 4 | |
Tray and knife | Rs. 300 | 20 | |

Sol.

Borewell for fresh water | Rs. 3000 | 1 | Rs. (30001) =Rs. 3000 |
Bamboo for fish drying | Rs. 2000 | 20 | Rs. (200020) = Rs. 40000 |
Cement tank | Rs. 1000 | 4 | Rs. (10004) =Rs. 4000 |
Tray and knife | Rs. 300 | 20 | Rs. (30020) = Rs. 6000 |
Bucket | Rs. 75 | 20 | Rs. (7520) =Rs. 1500 |
Total cost to set up the factory = Rs. 54500
Quantity of dried fish obtained in one month= of 6000 kg = (6000/3) kg= 2000kg
Ques. Let us first calculate for 6 kg of fresh fish.
We buy fresh fish for Rs. 15 per kg
We sell dried fish for Rs. 70 per kg
We dry 6 kg fresh fish to get ………. Kg dried fish
For 6 kg fresh fish we have to pay 6………. = Rs. 90
We will sell 2 kg dried fish and get 2………. = Rs.………
So if we dry 6 kg fresh fish we will earn ………-90= Rs. ……….
But it we dry 6000 kg we can earn Rs…………1000 in one month!
Sol. We dry 6 kg fresh fish to get 2kg dried fish [6/3=2]
For 6 kg fresh fish we have to pay 6Rs. 15 =Rs. 90
We will sell 2kg dried fish and get 2 Rs. 70 =Rs. 140
So if we dry 6 kg fresh fish we will earn Rs. 140-Rs. 90= Rs. 50
But if we dry 6000 kg we can earn Rs 501000=Rs. 5000 in one month!

Ques. Jhansi- I found that for 6000 kg fish we would need 1500 kg salt every month! Its price is Rs. 2 per kg
Monthly costs:
(a) Salt 15002= Rs.………..
(b) Packing and bus charges= Rs. 3000
So the total monthly cost of drying and selling the fish =Rs. ………..
Fazila- That sounds very good! Our calculations tell us that every month our Bank will earn Rs. 44000!
1. Check to see if you also get the same answer.
Sol. Monthly costs-
(a) Salt =1500Rs. 2= Rs. 30000
(b) Packing and bus charges= Rs. 3000
So, the total monthly cost of drying and selling the fish=Rs. 3000+Rs. 3000= Rs. 6000
They earn Rs. (50000-6000) = Rs. 44000 per month
Their answer is correct.
